"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 know this is a bit late, but what's your guys thoughts on Valentine's day? I think it's a bit silly hallmark holiday. I am good about doing random acts of kindness throughout the year, so to focus on one day seems stupid.

And it's not really about men... It's about what men can do for women, or women for women...
 

"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.

I made an observation while checking out faKebook yesterday....I saw many of my male friends posting pics of them with their significant other or pics of just their significant other while professing their love and how lucky they are. Some really cheesy schitt. Made me want to cringe.

The women only posted pics of the gifts they received for V-Day thanking their man. They weren't professing their love, just showing off their gifts.

We need a day that honors men........steak, blow jobs, beer, and $trippers!. :D

I learned a long time ago from the nightclub business that the two nights in a year that I DON'T want to go out are Valentine's Day and New Year's Eve. Those are better spent staying in and cooking or perhaps at someone's home with friends.

It is certainly the last night of the year I would go out for dinner. Restaurants often raise their prices for the day. It's crowded, and servers are overworked.

I bought food to cook, my gf's favorite bourbon and some candy I know she likes. We had a nice evening at home. Holidays are what you make of them, even the most shallow and commercialized holidays.

If you are single and don't have any close female friends then I think you just want the day to fast forward to the next day. In the other hand, it's less stress you have to deal with and the day does go by very fast.
 

"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.
