"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 happen usually, when women talk with me, that I find them touching something, sometimes it's a pen, or my parked bike handlebar, or something else which is round.
Of course this means that a women could find you actractive, and somehow it's showing her desire, but what else could it mean? Could she just be nervous?
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

I think more than likely they are seeking to use these objects in their defense since your registering totally normal things in an interaction as sexual?

Hi Johnie,
Yes fondling the stem of a glass,moving items around the table are all signs of nervousness,In my experience full fondling,stroking of a wine glass or Champagne flute,is a sure indicator that a Lady is in a highly sexual mood,but not necessarily with you in mind....In my dissolute youth I used occasionally share a table with such a Lady who would continually enjoy doing this,a Woman who by reputation had a voracious appetite,but she had settled on a Nigerian Diplomat who was hung like a Donkey and certainly wouldn't even be considering me as her next victim.

"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.

I'm an experienced bouncer/cooler and I can see when men make women nervous in the wrong way. That would be my cue in the nightclubs to run interference.
Hi Amsterdam,
I have never heard the term "Cooler"guess he's a Honcho who de-escalates potentially nasty interractions?

Yes.
"Cooler' became the term after the movie 'Road House', but there was no 'official term' for that job. Some called it 'point man' as being the first person to go into the fray. I would go in first to de-escalate the situation, and if that didn't work, my fellow bouncers came to chuck them out. I was just the bouncer with the best social skills.
Was it an innate ability? Or have you learned along the way?
