"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.

About four or five days ago i left some bath water going for too long and fell in a pool of water in my home and tried to grab onto a door hinge while falling. My right pinky was gashed open really deep down the entire finger. So deep that a tendon was cut and they were debating on send me to the hospital for some kind of finger surgery instead of just normal stitches. But a eastern European man came in and stitched it up.

I have been putting neosporin on the stitches with a new bandaid and bandage twice daily.

Last night i accidentally bumped the finger with stitches into my living room table. It hurt like hell for about 10 mins the subsided.

I opened my bandage up today and one of the suture areas seems to have opened a bit obviously from it hitting the table. I washed it gently put neosporin on it and wrapped it back up. Really dont want to go back to the urgent care unless absolutely necessary. Any thoughts or advice?
 

"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.
