"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.

Why not vote for a mod, people who want to be mods tell they want to be so, and guys vote for them. And Allen has this in mind when choosing them. This way, I hope some of the bs complaining would come to a pre-canned response "Next time vote for someone else".

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

This should not be a democracy. This is a privately owned forum.

We can provide inputs (in order to motivate or encourage some individuals to appy for it)...but at the end...it should be up to the owner of the site.

Isn't it up to the Mods or Allen anyway? I'm guessing that they already know who they would consider.
