"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.

Since moving out of my house, I'm living with three other guys. I've known two of them for about 6 years and one for only a few months.

I moved in while two of the roommates were in Iraq and they've since come back. I was never supposed to stay here, but it just has sort of worked out like that. I pay rent and do chores and all, so it's really just a matter of convenience for everyone involved.

I get along great with the two I've known for years, but the guy I've only just met and I really f ucking hate each other.

He made me give him my key last night (he was made because he didn't know I had one, "someone took his", he'd never made a copy of his, and the door was locked yesterday while no one was home). And I was on the phone taking a message from someone when he busts in and starts barking at me.

He asks me who's on the phone and I tell him to hold on a minute. He tells me that if I ever talk to him like that again, he'll throw me out.

So... how the f uck am I supposed to live with this ass hole?

I'd love some advice.
 

"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.

Get hold of a Chainsaw and when he's sleeping at night, enter his room and start it up and slowly walk toward him.. [I may be joking about this, I certainly don't condone it]

There's not a lot you can do since you're not supposed to be there. Either try to have a proper talk with the guy and explain your circumstances to him to try and get him on-side or failing that make him think you're a total psycho who he shouldn't mess with.

Seems like the cvnt was waiting for an oppurtunity to have a pop at you! Move out! Or get him to move out - either way something has to give...

First, bring this up with the other two roomates, then all of you guys arrange a talk with teh 3rd dude. Let him know that the way he acted with unacceptable, and have your friends back you up. If you're friends don't back you up. . ..get outta there.

Yeah there is no use doing nething prematurely. As my friends above adviced u, first speak wid the other 2 guys abt this and then over a cup of coffee u all (include him too) can talk abt it like matured individuals . but also make sure u do this casually and dont show any signs of aggression.

u never know this **** is probably looking for a reason to start a fight wid u or he is just like tht.
Best of luck. if it doesnt work out u can always move out or show tht **** the door.
 

"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.

Buy an AK47, Dress up like a muslim extremist, tape some wires to your chest, and barge in screaming while he's asleep. Scare his ass to death.

You said he was in Iraq right?

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

The fact that the dude was in Iraq could explain his attitude, depending on what he has seen and experienced while there.
