"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 guys, here's the story...

I recently broke up with my gf and then today, at a swimming competition, some girl who's friends with my ex joins me and my boys in the showers and says to me:

"Rooster, why did you tell katie (my ex) that you hated me?"

I was stunned and she totally caught me off balance. All i could muster up was "I didn't... when was this?"

She says "you told her on the phone". So I kept denying it and it died down.

Now, we both know that I did tell my ex that I didn't like her, the thing is I don't know whether to leave it at that because I'm not happy my mates saw me get burned by a girl like that.

Or if I should go over to where her swimming club are sat tomorrow and tell her that yes, "I remember now I did say I don't like you... because I don't" and confront her about it?

Thanks, all help is appreciated guys.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

I'm not prepared to play their games, and this is why katie's my EX.

It's just that her mate totally burned me in the showers, in front of lots of my mates, and I'm not sure what to do now? Leave it or own her?!!

Bear in mind that there is a 99% chance we will have to walk past each other tomorrow.

don't be such a wuss. It doesn't sound like you got "burned" at all. You should've just said, "Because you're annoying and as hell and you always get on my nerves." Why bother denying it if you don't like her?

That's what I mean... I denied it instead of telling her why I don't like her - you're annoying as hell etc. And now I do feel like a wuss.

I'm just wondering whether to rectify it by telling her tomorrow or just to leave it?

Hmm... what would maximus do??
 

"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've always found that when you speak your mind, everything else will follow. In this case, you didn't speak your mind, but just avoided the confrontation. How you handle things is your call, but I'm just telling you how I would handle my things.

Anyways, it's already over so theres no point in going back and trying to fix what's already broken. Unless she approaches you again about it, don't worry about it and move on. In any case actually, don't worry about it and move on.

Why did she go into the mens shower room anyways? What I PERSONALLY would have done is to drop my pants, let her see my cöck, and if she pursues it from there, slowly walk towards her, defending yourself at the same time :D.

I'm with the others, it seems like this chick is the type to try to ruin you and your ex's relationship (even if you don't see her doing it, she could be talking crap about you to your ex behind your back), and it was pretty low of your ex to tell her that you don't like her.

Dude worrying about what other guys think is kind of high school stuff. I think you just do whatever you want to do and let other people worry about being impressed or not. In the overall schema of life, whether or not some wankers think you got dissed by a girl is small stuff, IMO.
