"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.

Okay, mine, would sound silly but it has to be a badminton set. There's usually a group of attractive women working at our hotel that my parents owns here in South East Asia, and all I have to do is ask or order one of them to play with me outside. It's a great chance to not only exercise, have fun, get a few laughs but also practice my game target practice style by conversing and flirting. What about you guys? What's the best purchase you have made so far?
 

"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.

A pack of rubbers, a *****, and eight grams of blow.

And a carne asada burrito with extra beans.

A pressure cooker. (Instapot) It has helped me make preparation of meals more efficient for preparing breakfast for my two mobility-restricted elderly parents so I'm able log-in on time for work, able to prepare something decent during a lunch break within a reasonably short time.

I'm intending to continue experimenting with this cooker to see if can take inexpensive food items, like rice/pasta/beans/sauce, and create great dishes in a short amount of time. That could save us allot of money if the experiment is successful and could be the next game changer for this home.

"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.
