"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.

So I like wearing shirts sometimes without anything on them. I was thinking of getting a purple shirt with out anything on it. So I would like some opinions, what do you think?

"I love you... You love me.. We're a happy family.." It's Barney!! :)

ANd me personally? No.. I don't think purple looks good on most people.. black, white, or olive-skinned...

Purple looks pretty aweful on most people, especially a big block of purple. Purple-based pattern? Much better. I have a pretty sweet-looking shirt that has patterns with several shades of purples, and a tiny bit of other colours for effect, and I keep getting good comments about it. I doubt I'd get many good comments over a big block of purple draped over me.

That being said, if you're comfortable wearing a purple shirt, go for it. Heck, if you feel like wearing pink, go for it. ("It's not pink, it's fierce SALMON!") It's not the colour (as long as the colour suits you), it's how you wear it.

Gray sportscoat? I dunno. I'd go with black pinstriped, myself, but grey works, too, I guess. It definately works with dark jeans, though.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Charcoal grey, something with a bit of texture. :up:

Touché. I guess I had my dad's ugly old light gray sportscoat in mind.
