"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 don't know about you, but it seems like I'm getting a text message every 2 minutes now. And it's not just from HB's but from friends, family and co-workers.

The worst part is one coworker seems to text me about every damn boring thing he does.

Is it possible to block someones text messages?

And why are people to lazy to make a call? I can understand with my coworker since he never has anything interesting going on, but I could really do without his texts as well. Although I'm not sure how to tactfully tell him this.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

So just ignore him? People don't usually keep texting you unless you're texting back.

And I, for one, love texting. Why? Because I can do away with bull**** niceties and get straight to the point. It also allows me to respond whenever it's convenient for me. It saves time.

The other great thing is that it's concrete. I can save a text message and refer to it later. You can't do that with a phone call.

I know this isn't what you are saying, but some others on here think texting is "girly" and shouldn't be used with women, but I disagree.

Like suicide said...it's convenient and to the point. And you can reply back whenever.
