"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.

A friend of mine recently got in trouble for excessive speeding. He is facing a misdemeanor and doesn't have the best driving record. I don't think he ever realised that he could get in this kind of trouble for driving fast. The truth is he's a good guy but a misdemeanor is on your record. If he is convicted he is worried about his future getting jobs. And also what girls would think. What would girls think about him if he had a misdemeanor on his recod. how could he feel confident around them?
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

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.

Tell him to get a lawyer because he can get it expunged, and if the lawyer is good enough, they'll drop the charges to the lesser.
 

"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.

TRaffic infractions like that don't go on your criminal record. It wouldn't have any effect uness it was a job where you are a driver or unless it was a sensitive government postion. And even if you commited a misdemeanor that did go on you criminal record, the nature of the offense would be what mattered. Most misdemeaners aren't of that "negative" in nature.

Oh the poor soul. Maybe he can redeem himself if he puts down the keys now and promises never to break the rules of the road ever again.

What if it was a DWI?
 

"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.

DWI is criminalized in most states. But what about it? No girls care if you had a dwi and most jobs don't either. Hit and run is criminalized, so is vehicular manslaughter, you're starting to act like a little kid here.

A lot of them do lol. But why didn't you ask that question in the first place? Your hypothetical friend doesn't even have one anyway.

sorry. its just that hes worried and the excessive speeding he did is a crime (130) and I guy I know did get a misdemeanor DWI but hes in college and the jobs hes looking for are a bigger deal then best buy. no they aren't serious crimes but i'm pretty sure it carries a record I guess I wondered how this would affect a womens opinion of you.

Dude I f'd up in college and got a DWI. I landed a fantastic job afterwards. I've also landed another even better job when I left that job. The DWI 1st offense is usually expunged and 2nd offense is usually counted as the 1st offense. So, no problems, mate.

Start surrounding yourself with smarter friends. Sure people make mistakes. Just surround yourself from people who learn from them. If you can find friends that learn from other people's mistakes, you'll be doing even better.
