How do you go about blind dates? Suggestions please. I got one coming up and I've never been on one. How much different from a regular date should I treat it?
"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.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Question: What makes it any different than any other date?

You dont have a decent idea of her IL in you, as opposed to meeting/knowing her before hand.
That to me is all the difference in the world.

So how do you do it with a woman you meet or know before hand? Do you talk to her? Do you ask her questions? Do you tell her about yourself? Do you exchange stories?
If you did, why the hell wouldn't you do the same thing with a woman on a blind date? Why make it so difficult?
"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.

Seeing that I would only go out with 1 out of 10 girls that I normally see, a blind date is a bad idea, most likely she's not going to be that hot.
