"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.

So many New Years Resolutioners at the gyms every January, only to quit by February.

The sad part is that with so many of them flooding the gyms it makes it tougher for us regular workout people to get in a workout and it's tougher for them as well. I'm sure they get discouraged at well waiting at the gym and it takes twice as long to fit in a workout.

I hate January at the gym.

The only solution that I've found is to go in at the times when noone else goes like early in the morning.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

I know. The liberal viewpoint would be, hey remember you used to be a beginner two, but even when I was a beginner I didn't wait for it to be a New Years resolution. Hah, I started in summer.

And the bad part is it only brings in a few more nice looking girls.

More of them aren't good and alot of fat dudes taking up space too LOL
 

"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.

I hear ya. Luckily I'm back at college in a week and I go to a small school so it never gets too crowded. It's so freaking obvious these people are gonna quit in a month that they get hardly any benefit.

For me it's not just new year's, but the start of each semester. It's funny though, I guess since people "dedicate themselves to lifting" twice a year, they only come for about 2 weeks before quitting.

Always keep your eyes open for the hapless lady who might need a hand...
 

"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.
