"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 whats worse? meeting parents, or having parents found out about your relationship? anyways, this is what happened.
There's this one girl that i've been dating for maybe the last two months, me and her both go to differant highschool's so its not too bad. But a few days ago, we were making out and i accidentally left a hickey or two on her neck, anyways lesson learned there.
But the very same day she never really covered it up and her parents found out, so instead of lying she told me that she told them everything, and basically she just got *****ed at for several hours from her parents. But now her parents know, i knew her dad as her friend, but never has her boyfriend haha. Anyways, when i talked to her on the phone she didnt seem mad or sad at all that she was being yelled at for what happened, more or less happy/fine, which struck me as very odd.
But i guess my question is, is that should i really worry about all this and her parents?

Thanks in advanced for feedback. =)
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Don't worry about it. From what I've been through, if you can't get along with her parents or if they don't really like you, more than likely they wont let her go out with you any.

Whats wrong with meeting parents at all? The odds are they arn't goin go crazy on unless your like a 19 year old dating a 13 year old.

maybe she likes that her parents are mad...females are nuts dont ever think to hard about what they do or say.
 

"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.

mums are always easy to charm, just behave politely and decently and dont answer back. Or you can flirt with them too (that works a real treat sometimes)
