"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.

Sup fellas! got some questions. What are the best kind of condoms? Which are the ones that is super hard to rip, because i dont want to get her pregnant or risk of getting aids. Also, for those of you young teenagers, how did you guys get your condoms? did you ask your parents or got them from friends or bought them? I would feel kind of weird if i asked my dad to buy me condoms :p because arent you supposed to be like 18 or something close to buy condoms?



THANKS!
 

"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.

any condom made by the big-time condom companies today are quality-tested and are well-worth their salt (they have to be)

I recommend ones with spermicide on the inside of the condom (that way if it leaks, or breaks, most of the sperm will already be dead)

you should be able to get condoms at whatever age (provided you're not, like, 10) and if they say you're too young, tell them that you're taking responsibility for contraception. any pharmacist with half a brain should see that logic and will sell them to you. u can be a bit nervous sometimes when u go get them, but if buying condoms is the scariest part of your DJ career, consider yourself lucky.

if all else fails, just ask ur dad to buy u a box. simple.

you can get rubbers for free at planned parenthood.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
