"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.

In my LTR...i admit i've toned down the DJ skills a bit, but nothing like an AFC. I keep my cool, but i'm also a lot more sensitive of a boyfriend then that of a DJ....but its been working out..celebrating a year together.

Anyway--i really messed up when were on the phone discussing what resturant we would go too...i made her name choices then I chose and asked how it was..she even questioned my masculinity when i "couldnt make a decesion". Do I make an good excuse about it and recover, or forget it..or do somtin to show im no wuss

hmm
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Don't think too much about it. What's done is done, learn from your mistakes.

Were only human man. Its ok to flub up once in awhile. As long as no bad habits are gained. Actually like any mistake you make, move on. Don't dwell.
