"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,

I was talking to my ex-gf last night via MSN (we keep in close contact, despite the fact she's in college in Alaska) and we happened to get in a discussion about Valentines day after I asked her what she had gotten me. She recently sent out my b-day present late along with a card and something else. She told me she'd love to get flowers or a stuffed animal, then I went on to tease her about how she'd just use it for an ego boost and go bragging around campus.

Thing is, if she sent me something do you think it's appropriate if I send six roses to her? We're still **** buddies when she comes back from school, so it's not like I'm trying to buy sex or a relationship from her. I thought it'd just be a nice gesture. What do you guys think? Any links to sites that offer flowers for same-day delivery from different states?

Are you on crack? Seriously? You're getting sex why do you need to give her anything? You aren't her b/f. F.ck that sh.t man unless you are doing it just because you have $ to blow.

I'm gonna cancel my order tonight. I don't know what I was thinking. Atleast it was only 6 roses.

Any cheaper, "less cliche" ideas?

Sorry but you don't send flowers to hors and that includes fu-ck buddies. If you do then you are basically paying for sex

Your trippin, sending her those roses.

A. She's your X
B. She's out of state
C. Your already fvckin her, when she returns.
D. Why you spending money on some sh!t that doesn't need it!?

You could have texted her a simple ; ) wink.
Then went out and dropped 40 bucks at a bar w. a homey, and pulled one of the thousand and one pieces of ass... hungry for a man tomorrow night at a bar. Locking down a new bootycall.

Feel me?
Hope so!

Peace'
 

"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.

**** me in the goat ass! I've been trying to call FTD for about 6 hours now. "We're sorry but due to the high call volume, we can't take your call."

Oh, can't I wait on the line? Nope. I'll try calling the local flower shop tomorrow who is under FTD to see if I can still cancel. I think I'm screwed dudes.

*************

Oh well, I figure this will be one of my "nice guy" moments. She does 80% of the calling on the phone, we're still **** buddies, she's not a slut, and she's a cool girl. So it's not too bad I suppose. Live and learn.

Feel a little more in control?
 

"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.

She is thanking me heavily and is very chirpy and nice. Like she was earlier, but now just more so.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
