"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.

I love my parents but they are really like strict for no reason. I need help cause my parent want me to get my licensce but they don't want me to get a car. They don't want me dating. They don't even let me stay out late with cousins on non school days. They usually don't let me go to parents. This is just killing me socially and been putting me into a depression as of late. Since I've been the end of many jokes as of late for being on lockdown. So anyone have any advice on what to say to my parents. I'm going be 17 in 2 months and if I don't get better treatment I'm def moving out the house as soon as I turn 18 and never lookin back

"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.

tell them about karma...and that you'll be deciding what nursing home there guna be stuck in one day

you say they just brush you off when you mention the subject? have you tried sneaking out at all? see what happens then, they'll be worried sick about you then you can tell them if they let you out they'll know where you are all the time ect. or they could ground you for life :mad:

Hell No.
You think theyre strict now... watch them when you get caught. :( You all think youre parents never catch you... they do. They know every little sh--y thing you do. They just dont say it.

Tell me, do youre parents have any reason at all to be so strict?

Bad grades, caught with alcohol, sneaking out, bad behavior, anything?
If they do, its your fault.

Otherwise, find out why. Like this

"Mother/Father/Aunt Harriet, Why cant I go anywhere?"
I've been the end of many jokes as of late for being on lockdown
When Im grounded, people say "Sh-t, that sucks."
Theyre joking about your situation, not you.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

i always ask them if they have reasons, like why i can't go to a skatepark. they'll say "cuz there might be drugs or alchohol" and i tell them that there banned there, and you get kicked out for like a year if they find out u've been using them on their grounds. just say reasons that disprove them.


(if that doesn't work, when my parents don't let me go places i just give them both a nazi salute and goose step out of the room. :p )
