"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'm giving my 50% mexican girlfriend a card for valentine's day, along with the other sh1t (generic valentine's day, you know the drill), but just for fun since she speaks a decent amount of Spanish, I thought I'd write one and have it translated (and what better way to do so without embarrassment than the good old internet?) so if someone could translate this very short message that'd be cool:


Happy Valentine's day! It's been a great few months since the start of the school year, and I'm so glad to have gotten to know you. I hope you've enjoyed our relationship as much as I have.






(suggestions welcome but not necesarry, I've been around long enough to know that something I said is a sin to the DJ Bible in one way or another:p )
 

"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.

ditto, man.

Asi deben escribir todos nosotros latinos, pero desgraciadamente algunos escriben mal y nos da mala fama.
 

"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.

Some accents were missing if we come too serious about the letter.

Happy Valentines Day. It's been a great relationship and I want it to continue being good. It's been pleasing getting to know you and I very much enjoy having you in my life.

I don't know enough spanish to say this, but this is what I'd suggest.

YAY!

san valentino is the sexiest way I've heard to say saint valentine...

I'm going to run a routine on valentines day with that sentence.

Feliz día de San Valentin

Damnit I gotta hit up my friend spazz, She's going to anchor the mindset in my mind...

"mon boi!!!!"
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

French may be the language of love, but Spanish is the language of sexy. Thanks a lot guys!! Can't believe how many responses this got, and I'll give you feedback on Tuesday or Wednesday.

I said your spanish isn't that good, to keep studying, but I didn't mean it in an aggressive way. I am impressed you know french.

I can't speak french, but I can struggle through some of it though.

She loved the card, said it was very creative, it seemed like she appreciated the thought behind it. Very good Valentine's Day for me.:D



And Dimebag, I do know enough Spanish to know you're a funny guy.
