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.
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.
Oh, no doubt! :woo:Giovanni Casanova:
There was a crazy guy on a street corner in Louisville last month that said the end of days will come January 1, 2008.
I have no reason to doubt him.

You're the one who "believes in 2012" and WE need to grow up?Originally posted by Shiftkey
You guys need to grow up.
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

your on the right track except that nano technolgy is actuly the manipulation of atoms, to make tiny structures of a size of maybe sevral nano meters across, thats 0.000000001 meters this is achived through using electic charges to displace single atoms and is a simular concept to electrostatic machining.Originally posted by Create Reality
Nanotechnology is ALL brains. A man is used to using his hands to express his creations, but how can you build atomic structures with your fingers? As technological measurment equipment becomes more and more precise we can build finer working machines for us.
