"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.

long story short i hooked up with a really good friend of mine and me and her both agreed that were just friends and i honestly want to keep it that way. problem is i cannot get her out of my head. ive never felt this way over a girl, i kno this is may be pushing it but i feel like im in love with her. i want to move on from the one time hookup and just be friends with her, but it feels impossible. help much needed im a wreck
 

"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.

It's amazing what a whiff of undergarments will do to a man, let alone a sixteen year old isn't it?

Sh*t who knows go for it her interest level in you had to be there if she wanted to jump in the sack. Unless you were a total idiot in bed which is impossible at age 16 anyway, because you all suck at age 16, she probably still likes you. I say go up to her, tell her "Remember when I said I thought we should just leave things at that and stay friends?" Her "Yeah" You "Well I don't", drop your arms to her waist and kiss her. She'll be your girlfriend tomorrow if you have the balls.

By the way, STFU you don't love her reading that made me wanna hurl.

i have no reason to do that, why would i want to mess it up with a girl im really good friends with when i have a bunch of girls at the moment that like me and one ive kinda hooked up with aalready. its not necessary, its not something i need to risk, i just want to get over her and still be friends with her.
 

"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.
