"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.

Hey.. its that time again, yearbooks are being passed around the school for those who ordered them. But I always have a problem when people want me to sign.. I, like most people, do the dull "Nice getting to know you, have a good summer, etc"

Well I need some better ideas. What are some good phrases I can write in some peoples yearbooks besides the plain old dull common ones everyone uses.

This is what they remember about you for as years go by so I want to get something good.. funny/sweet/whatever. Typically I am talking about guys signing girls yearbooks

Any suggestions?
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

LOL.

I'm going to write a long one that seems like one, but in the end it's some random act. For example:

She lay on the carpet, hair spread like a halo framing her beautiful face. "harder" she cried.

"I'm trying" the man said.

"ahhh, I can't take it much longer! push harder!!"

yet the man could not push the large shaft home.

Exhausted, he dropped the large metal pipe and said, "wow get someone from the store to install your furniture cheapo!"


Pretty good eh?:crackup: :up:

Try running a search. I'm pretty sure its been discussed before.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

It doesn't really matter, just don't write about something that happened recently because they'll forget about it in 20 years.

This is good. How come she is laying on the floor though, while he is installing furniture? haha
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

you could same how say she was helping, but explaining the legs-spread part might be difficult.

I used that for two today, but I changed it a bit (not for the better though I think) because I couldn't remember it. It did make this one girl laugh really hard though, which was cool. I'm just trying to think of something that would go good in the guys books, cus that seems like something that would be better for the girls.
