"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.

Recently as I have stated I've been giving my ex rides to work. I feel as if I've been getting taken advantage of and I don't like it. She knows I'm talking to other females and I post freaky things on my myspace like I'm gonna do this and do that to them . She almost had an heart attack when I said me and this chick was gonna meet up (she thought I said eat her out). I think I'm gonna nip this in bud now. I'm gonna tell her me and mrs. Roberston are gonna be together and she wouldn't like it if I kept giving her rides. She keeps telling me she loves me but I don't feel it. I know I should probably just man up and tell her I can't do it but,this give me an great excuse.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

sorry man just got a lot on my mind and not just about her. She's part of it though got so much going on and nobody gives a ****. I really need to get my **** together I lost a lot of my intergrity just dealing with how fvcked up people are. I'll pledge allegiance to solomon though that I will do an self improvement/fr if I keep getting honest answers because I'm just not killing you I'm killing myself. look for it on tuesday for not I gotta do soul searching.
