"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.

"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.

Well if you are joining the military for chicks, it's probably not the best way to invest your life.

However, if you are doing it for other reasons more power to you.

I've never really heard a girl say they love a man in uniform. I've only heard it on tv, and for all we know, that could be subliminal messaging from the army.

I'm sure some girls would think it's cool and would be a good conversation piece. However, don't come back with post-traumatic stress disorder; that definently won't get you girls.

Well I was thinking about joining, but decided to persue the nerdy arts instead. lol. But one of my friends joined, and he came back, with a shaved head, and muscles, and the ability to beat the **** out of anyone. Chicks digged him major time even before he joined though.
 

"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.

Man, more power to ya. I've never heard anyone here in town( I live next to a big Army base) that has never said they didn't like a man in uniform. It's definitely a big perk. More than likely, I'll be doing Air Force or Army ROTC within the next school year so I guess we'll both see if it helps pretty soon :D Good luck man.

Youre also putting a price on your life. Anyway, as long as you dont brag about it and be a pretentious bastard then itll be straight.
