"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.

can u tell me the exact damages common STDs could bring to you? i mean... i'd be afraid as hell if i risked to have AIDS, but why everyone is so scared of like herpes?! i don't think that's so terrible... i mean, i wouldn't like to have it, as well as gonorrhea and syphilis, but at least, unlike aids, u don't carry them all your life... there are cures for them, aren't there? and, expecially, they are not fatal, unlike aids...

sh1t, things i read on this website are freakin' me out... now, i'm afraid of even touch my girlfriend... everytime we are naked, i can't think about anything, but the risks of pregnancy and aids:-(
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Dude, you need to do some research on STDs. For example, herpes IS something you carry all your life, as well as genital warts. They are not life threatening but they can be uncomfortable. Other diseases are treatable but if you don't get the medical help you need, they can still be fatal or really f*ck you up. I suggest you go to a site like www.webmd.com and look up the sexually transmitted disease on that site.

Sometimes Giacomo Casanova was referred to as "Giovanni" Casanova, and I am part Italian.

Well, you know, herpes is only an incurable sexual disease that cause pain, discomfort, and social/romantic stigma.

Now, my name on the other hand... that's important sh*t.

Do a search on here. There was a nice post about STD's. I think it might be stickied still.
 

"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.
