"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.

My favorite band has been the Beatles for the past 30 years. While many here pretend DJ community was just created, they haven't studied their Beatles. No band captured unrequited love, heartbreak or oneitis like the Beatles (which given their ultimate rock star status shows how humble and human they were).

Some of the best romantic songs that captured what we go through (in Chronological Order)

1) Anna (Go to Him)
2) PS I Love You
3) Don't Bother Me
4) You Really Got a Hold on Me
5) Devil In Her Heart
6) Money
7) Thing We Said Today
8) You Can't Do That
9) No Reply
10) I'm A Loser
11) I'll Follow The Sun
12) I Don't Want to Spoil the Party
13) Help (Ideally with James Bond Intro)
14) The Night Before
15) Ticket to Ride
16) Yesterday
17) Drive My Car
18) You Won't See Me
19) Think for Yourself
20) The Word
21) Michelle
22) I'm Looking Through You
23) In My Life
24) Here There and Everywhere
25) She Said She Said
26) And Your Bird Can Sing
27) I Want to Tell You
28) Got to Get You into my Life
29) She's Leaving Home
30) When I'm Sixty Four
31) Baby, Your a Rich Man
32) While My Guitar Gently Weeps
33) I'm So Tired
34) Blackbird
35) I Will
36) Sexy Sadie
37) Oh Darling!
38) I Want You
39) You Never Give me Your Money
40) The End
41) Two of Us
42) I Me Mine
43) I've Got a Feeling
44) One after 909

(Singles)

45) I Call Your Name
46) I Feel Fine
47) Yes it Is
48) Day Tripper
49) We Can Work it Out
50) Lady Madonna
51) Hey Jude
52) Don't Let me Down
53) The Ballad of John and Yoko
 

"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.

56) She Loves You
57) Something
58) I Want to Hold Your Hand
59) For No One "Your day breaks. Your mind aches. You find that all her words of kindness linger on when she no longer needs you;"
60) I'll Be Back "You know if you break my heart I'll go, but I'll be back again, 'cause I told you once before goodbye, but I came back again. I thought that you would realize that if I ran away from you, that you would want me to, but I got a big surprise".

Not sure how I missed those last two - perhaps the most heartbreaking two of all.

"You've got to hide your love away" Great song but cringy if you can relate.
