"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.

Well, these aren't written by God on tablets of stone, but i'm sure that being posted on a forum by a Master DJ would be enough to suffice in this case.


1. thou shalt not place any woman[en] above thee.

2. Thou shalt be a confident man.

3. Thou shalt not let rejection be a problem. Getteth thou out and tryeth again.

4. Thou shall not be an AFC. Thou shalt be a Man instead.

5. Thou shall be the Alpha male, always ready to lead your group to victory.

6. Thou shalt have a backbone of iron and balls of steel. Thou shalt never give up on a problem unless all other solutions hath been exausted. Thou shalt not make lame excuses. Thou shalt not taketh any shyt.

7. Thou shalt respect your woman [en] as much as thou shalt respect thineself.

8. Thou shalt pursue thine own interests before thou pursueth thine women.

9. Thou shalt be kind to everyone that thou meeteth, unless they deem themselves unworthy of thine kindness.

10. Thou shalt readeth the DJ Bible and keep it handy.
 

"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.

12. Thou shall follow these ten commandments. (or all the commandments about to come from all the replies
)
 

"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.

If I wasn't limited to ten, I would have put that in as well.

I assumed that people would take that as a given, so I thought wasting a slot on it would seem rather redundant
 

"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.
