"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, just wondering if there're any people out there who know about electronics...I'm moving into a small room next year at uni so I'm having to leave my seperates at home :-(

instead I'm thinking of building this system, it should be nice and small so perfect for my room...

I take an apple mini system ( http://store.apple.com/Apple/WebObjects/ukstore.woa/wa/RSLID ?nnmm=browse&mco=9A42D2A0&node=home/desktop/mac_mini) and hook it up to a 42" plasma tv ( http://www.hyperfi.co.uk/default.aspx?CategoryID=204&Ite mID=Panasonic_42pw6_ex-display) as the monitor....then I link it up to a BOSE Acoustimass 10 sound system ( http://www.bose.co.uk/GB/en/home-entertainment/home-cinema/s peaker-systems/AM10/index.jsp)

does that sound at all practical? any suggestions? The BOSE speakers do sound awesome although I'm up for any alternatives :)

cheers, Leeroy
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Everyone not in your room will consider you a douchebag. The bass penetrates through dorm walls so easily even at low volume.

Altec Lansing makes great speakers, might want to check them out, better value than the bose systems..
 

"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.

I know this very well, I've got a pretty awesome set up atm but it just won't fit in my room next year...

I'm living in a house too, and the other 5 guys're never in and when they are in, they're also listening to loud music so this is no problem...
