"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 broke up with my gf not too long ago. we've been thru for awhile (check out my prior gay posts). but i feel pretty good. i look forward to meeting new women and new challenges with life and what ever else.

i look back on that relationship and (2 years) regret the bad advice i've taken from her. i'm thinking way more clear and enjoying myself right now. i've even started drawing and writing again.

dudes, if you've been dumped on, lie around and feel sorry for yourself. hell...drink and get drunk. but when your done, get your sh!t together and do what god intended you to do.
 

"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.

Get out there and do a boot camp. You may surprise yourself.

Good for you. Embrace your freedom and learn from your mistakes. You have the power to pick and choose. Women can only wait to be approached.
