"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Are people weird when you buy condoms over-the-counter?

I used to get mine from a local gas station before I moved .. now the closest places are a walgreens and a cvs pharmacy and at both places, the women at the counter acted different when I asked them where the condoms where, playfully hinting that I shouldn't be so blunt. I don't get it, what's the big deal?
 

"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.

If they are women clerks as you say, ask them where the XL condoms are and don't smile or grin your azz off while asking. Might as well have some fun if you have to go shopping…
No big deal though. They are supposed to know where the merchandise is. Probably get asked about everything in the store daily.

Fact of life purchase there guys. Do you think women get embarrassed about buying tampons? Only shy teens…
Own it and show it.

Female clerks selling me condoms always say, " now you have a good night!"
Proper response - Planning on it.
I like this one better though if clerk is young and hot - I will.

Always buy a roll of duct tape too when you buy condoms, but just those two things.

Just confidently strike up a conversation with the cashier right before she scans your condoms. It shows you're confident contrary to society and the media portraying men as embarrassed when buying rubber. It'll leave the impression that you're attractive and have lots of sex.

I just give the cashier a look that says "Yes I DO plan on getting laid tonight" Come to think of it I have never met a drug store cashier whom I cared about their opinion of me.

The closest I have ever come to even caring (not a Condom purchase) was at Costco when the girl cashier asked me about my plans that day and revealed she was getting off work in 15 minutes and her kids were off somewhere else. If my wife at the time wasn't standing right next to me I'd have driven her home.....

Funnily enough, most stores here only have one size, which is about 53mm width. Which is crazy, because one does not fit all, it's horribly unsafe (and boner-killing) if you wear the wrong size!
Anyway I measured and now I order online exclusively.

I did have a fun time trying to buy condoms in Georgia (ex.soviet country). Everybody was quite embarrassed after I looked up the word in Russian and was shouting it at random clerks... ;)
