"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Aight, had the date with girl on Friday, take her for lunch and ice cream. We ended up doin sum deep kissing for a lil bit and then took her home and ended with a hug and kiss. Aight, so my intentions is to wait till Wednesday to call her. However, she hasn't called me yet or emailed me since then, is that a bad sign or somethin? Usually when a girl starts kissin a guy, i thought she starts gettin kinda attached to him.
In addition when i call her wednesday, what should I say if her sister or her sister's boyfriend picks up? They could be potential blockers and leaving a message with them, might ruin my chances.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

even if a girl really likes you......some just wait for you to do ALL the work. Its sucks but its part of bein a man.

Some dj's will tell you to say something really witty or spontaneous if the sister or brother answers but I would just ask when she will be home and call again later. No point in risking a desperate attempt for approval from the family. If shes not home when they say just leave a message. This is where she has to do something. If she doesn't respond back just next her until she gets off her cute lil ass and calls you.

Im not a firm believer in waiting a week to call a chick. She may be thinking you nexted her already or god only knows what the heck they think.

waiting a week to call should only be after a number close, not a first date.

get into text messaging girls with your cell phone. That way you can get your point across without speaking so much over the phone.

Waiting til Wednesday is too long. Call her on Monday. If it was a good date, she wants to hear from you.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
