"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.

Looks like protesters are going to set up a summer of love outside Mayor Durkan's gated community. This is the very definition of poetic justice..... Read some of the comments on the video, it's pure comedic gold......

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

There have been several incidents like this. The politician supports the protesters but they end up turning on her because she isn't radical enough - like the comment by Ever Since noted.

It reminds me of the fable of The Scorpion and the Frog. The frog gives the scorpion a ride across the river, but the scorpion stings the frog and they both drown. The scorpion says he can't help it, it's his nature. If you try to be nice to a scorpion, it's going to sting you.

If they start sieging leftist politicians homes I will definitely make a fat donation, I want them to be well fed and full of energy.
