"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.

Wasn't sure if this was appropriate for the DJ Discussion thread, so I put it here.

My girlfriend's birthdays coming up and we were originally going to go to Disneyland but it turned out to be too expensive, so now I'm lost. What should I we do for her birthday? Again, I'm not looking for gift ideas, I'm looking for things to do on her birthday.

If you have you're own place, make it into Disneyland. Or just rent a hotel room, make it to were no one can contact you, and eat at some expensive resturant that you normally don't go to. Sky's the limit.

Throw a birthday party. Invite her friends and your friends to come.

This reminds me of a saying of Ric Flair's. I can't remember the exact wording, but: "You don't have to go to Disneyland to ride Space Mountain"
 

"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.
