"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.

The smell of burning rubber and electronics

Last Thursday, I plugged in and started up an old computer from way back in 1998. I went out of the room for a few minutes while it started up, and came back to smell something like a mix of burning rubber and electronics! (a quick search on google indicates that this may be due to the Power Supply Unit or some other component frying)

I quickly pressed the off button on the computer, unplugged it and took it outside. The smell was... awful.

After two days of airing out my room (opening the window) while I sleep in another room, there are still traces of the smell whenever I walk into my room.

I have two questions though:
1. does anyone know if the smell is harmful?
2. how long do you think the smell will last?
 

"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.

the smell is not harmful (lol :D ), just open your windows all the way or better yet, open the window in the room next to it and leave the door open so that you create a ....wind...... (i forgot the word, airflow maybe?). it'll help even more. got rid of the major part of the smell in a day.

I just found out that it may have been electrolytic capacitors in the power supply burning and vaporising (thus releasing gas and the smell!).

That is scary :(.
 

"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.
