"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.

This must be one of the least things that i want to hear come out of a girl's mouth. you might be wondoring what could possibly be so bad about being funny, but i have gotten this so many times and each time i just don't know how to respond to this. It's a pretty stupid comment, because if you laugh then that should already be enough of an indication that you think that i'm funny.

Usually I just return with either "hah, thanks" or i might just ignore it and continue the conversation.

how would you respond to something like this?



This must be the reason why no DJ in their right minds would recommend giving "you're hot" types of compliments.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

This reminds me of when I was a Freshmen in High School and this girl found me to be THE funniest human being in the entire world. She absolutely loved listening to me talk and would sit next to me and start rubbing her leg against me as I would go on (Unfortunately I was an AFC and my friend had one-itis with her).

Er, yeah. Anyway whenever she told me that "You're so funny" I'd usually just smile and keep on talking. I never found it to be an awkward thing, I just remember enjoying the boost to my ego.

well it doesnt make my situations nervous ever, and i'm beyond getting an ego boost for that(just about any girl i talk with for more than 5 minutes throws this at me)

i'm just wondoring if anyone has any ****y responses to this (it should be so easy to make a response to this, i do not know why i can't)

HER: "You're so funny!"

ME: "You forgot awesome too."
 

"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.

If she tells you you're funny then that's a compliment. If she compliments you then she likes you. Duhh..

and JP, compliments are sometimes just there, if every girl that told me i'm funny liked me, wow that's a lot of girls liking me. I know it is not as simple as that.

It is as simple as that. There are no accidents with women. They are not going to continually tell you you're funny for no reason. They are too self absorbed for that.

I always use the line from Goodfellas work's like a charm:

Girl: Your'e so funny!

Me: What do you mean I am funny?

Girl: you tell funny jokes.

Me: So what am I like a clown? am I here to amuse you?!
