"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.

Well, yesterday I asked one girl to prom and she said she didn't want to go with me. Today, I was talking to this other girl, who happens to be good friends with the first girl. Do you guys think I should ask the new girl anyway? The way I am looking at it is that I have nothing to lose, so why not.
 

"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.

Here's a line that may or may not work, it worked for me:

Jim: Whose taking you to formal?

HB7: No one.

Jim: Don't you dare call me a no one or else I might not take you to formal.

and she should get the message, and you're not asking her, your telling her, leading her.
