"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.

i'm currently seeing this girl who is late every other date. she's only late for about 10 mins. though. the thing is every time she's late, someone I know will always come up and talk to me and try to get me to hang out with them. So i shoot the breeze with them until she shows up.

every time this girl shows up though and see me with other people, the girl looks so god damn sad... like a little puppy. :crazy: i'm going to hang out with my friends, if they're around. i'm not going to shoot them off, b/c she looks so sad. so how do i deal with her tardiness?

just leave next time she's late? the thing is she's late about everywhere and with everyone... her friends, class, work. :nervous: her being late with me for around 10 mins. at most is actually not bad coming from her. the thing is she looks so sad, when i'm with other people instead of waiting for her solo during those 10 mins. :moon:
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Do you introduce her as your "late girlfriend" or is she too unactractive to introduce to your friends?

As long as she's not late on her period, you're probably okay.

"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.
