"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.

Hi, I am thinking of starting an ezine or print magazine soon (soon as in a few months). I need your help to fulfill my entrepreneurial dreams.

I am intereseted in the TOP FIVE THINGS THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE IN A MAGAZINE/Ezine (e.g. what is currently lacking in the market). This magazine will target 14-18 olds (this may change).

Please be as specific as possible (e.g. specify what type of article rather than just articles). I'll include a formal survey soon but right now I have other urgent things to attend to (assignmentS due tommorrow).

Survey number 1 (just a guideline)
2) How old are you?
About the magazine:
1) a) What is your favorite magazine? b)Why?
2) What do you think are the three things most lacking in magazines for teens nowadays?

3) If you had to pick five topics for a magazine what would they be?

4) What do you least like about teen magazine nowadays?

5) What things do you think are being featured too often?

6) Would you be wiling to submit some articles voluntarily?
 

"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.
