"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.

It's in my area January 6th, but I doubt I can get it installed that day. Is it worth waiting for?

Cox Cable is less than a mile away and I told them I was looking into the Verizon package. They gave me some discounts and said because it's a condo they'd have it installed and running in less than an hour, should I decide to get it.
 

"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.

You have to be very sure they know you're paying for the package you selected.
Verizon has a nice habit of charging you seperately for something that you wanted bundled to begin with. You'll be on the phone is what I say.

The services, tv internet and phone, are great, but trying to get a human when you call them is a pain.

You have any specific questions I might be able to answer?
