"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.

Hey, does anyone know if there's a crack that allows you to listen to itunes bought mp3s on a player other than an ipod? Or even be able to listen using winamp instead of itunes? Itunes used to be good but it's not just a piece of bloatware and takes a long as time just to open up.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

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.

Cracking iTunes would be wrong, however the fact that you can burn CDs from the iTunes software (so I hear) should then in theory allow you to do anything with those CDs you'd be able to do with any other CD.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Why is it wrong? I just have a different mp3 player than Ipod. I feel like I bought them legally, can't understand why I'm not allowed to listen to them on another player.

Should have read the iTunes disclaimer besides, Apple is notorious for the propriotory nature of their products. Don't expect them to play as easily with non-Apple products such the ways that PCs do.

Defeating the copy protection is a violation of the DMCA, but using the software as intended (including CD export) to listen to music in a legal way is not likely to land you in hot water. IANAL.
