"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.
What should i do with my cash????

"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Or go paintballing. However, saving it would still be wiser. But paintballing is too much fun. So we have a conundrum.
"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.
Or save for a car!
I invest most of my money/time in my bike selling business. I'm a bike mechanic so I buy/sell bikes to make extra cash on the side. I basically just look for really good deals on used bikes, fix them up(if they need fixing) and then I sell them for higher making a profit.
I started out with a $250 bike, now I have a $6000 bike in my garage with an exta profit of about $2000 in my bank from buy/selling bikes.
Lifes goooooood...but business is getting slow as my bikes become more expensive for the ordinary consumers.
I guess I'm just gonna sell my current bike and then start over again with a **** load of cash.
^^do something like that. Use your money wisely.

Prices will go down soon.gösta berling said:
Just save up.
What goes up must come down. If not...
You can just use Natural Gas instead of gasoline. I hear it was about 65 cents a gallon in the US. Same mileage as gasoline too. (heard it over the radio on this discussion)
And you just plug your car into your home's natural gas system (fuels the stove,heater etc.), and it fuels up at home...and you drive away.

"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.
