"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.

"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.

I'll say a prayer for you sister.

Remember this...although any brain surgery can be very dangerous...the technology in the medical field has come a very long way.

Cancer surgery can be scary for the family who has to sit and wait. I've been there myself during my mother's struggle with breast cancer and an anyeurism. She went into surgery 3 times. Two of them were supposed to be dangerous and one was supposed to be routine. Ironically, both of the dangerous operations went quickly and without a hitch. The routine surgery went alright as well, but took longer when it wasn't supposed to. I think when the surgery is considered to be more dangerous, the doctors tend to take it more seriously and therefore end up at the top of their game, so to speak.

Things will most likely go really well for your sister tomorrow. My mother was very weak and sick when she had her operations, but she had the will to recover. Give your sister all the encouragement you can and talk to her about all the great things she has to look forward to once all this is behind her. Talk about specific things you would like to do with her or places you want to go together. Making sure she's in a positive frame of mind when she goes into this will go a long way.

Good luck and please let us all know how things went.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
