"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.

k theres this girl in one of my classes, and her and one of her friends go on the topic of hair and crap. well she has naturaly strait hair but sometime she like puts crap in it to make it wavvy which i personaly think looks kinda cheap and dumb and i told her that i like it better when its staight, cause she was talkin about all the diff. stuff she does with it. Now was i out of line or was she just over reacting when she was like wow that was mean. i just played it cool and acted like she was just freakin out about nothing.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

what should/could have happened

Me: I like it better straight.

Her: Wow, that's kind of mean.

Me: It's not mean. It's truthful. Or should I lie to you and tell you it looks beautiful, when in reality I could surf all the waves in your hair.

Her: OMG! ... you know what?!...

Me: *interupt Her before she spews negative comments* ... Truthfully, you're hairs not bad, but you might look hot with it straight. Try it, and if you dont give even one guy a boner, then I guess I was wrong. *Smile*

Depending on how edgy your usual conversations are... this might defintelly not fit you... but I tend to talk like this on a day to day basis.

You could try this.

Not caring. Just think to yourself and imagine how much life they're wasting by wondering if their hair looks good every minute.
Personally, once you hear a chick blab on about something that she thinks is bad which it is oviously not, then I start laughing inside. Then I start paying her out about that certain 'insecurity' in a sarcastic way.

Yes! A mock sarcastic, whiny voice about your own hair being out of place, or one of my favourites : 'Oh no! I broke a nail!' or 'I haven't got my makeup on and its awful!' say something like that in a whiny voice with a grin, gets a laugh every time, works as a neg about their complaints, and best of all shuts tem up about their appearance. At least for a few minutes anyway... <_<
 

"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.

Voice tone comes into play when you give your opinion about something like that. Opinions are good to give.
