"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.
Calculus class makes me want to cry

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
1- Never miss a note given in class (you don't have to understand everything beforehand; I am a big procrastinator, so I am against reading the book in advance... and it still works for me)
2- Write every homework, exercise to do at home, and chapters to read in the book on a SEPARATE sheet, that way you can keep track of what you are doing.
3- Organize your time so that you can do the following, in the exact order, before the exam (don't mess up and be short on time, you WILL fail, because you need to do everything):
a) Read the chapter in the book, and RE-DO THE EXAMPLES without looking at the solution written in the book (ie you re-write the question and do it again). While you are doing this, take note of the KEY elements that you might not remember on a separate summary sheet. Put a checkmark next to the appropriate pages on the sheet you have written all the exercises and pages to read on.
b) Read the notes give in class, and RE-DO THE EXAMPLES given in class. While you are doing this, take note of the KEY elements that you might not remember on a separate summary sheet. Put a checkmark next to the appropriate pages on the sheet you have written all the exercises and pages to read on.
c) Make sure you understand the theory PERFECTLY and that you can do all the examples without looking at the solution.
d) Then, and ONLY THEN, will you start doing the exercises in the book. Check the answer after each problem. Re-do the problems you did not get right. If there is a problem you don't get right after the second time, or you really don't know how to do it, GO BACK TO "a" AND START OVER. After you're done, look at the sheet you have written all the exercises on, and re-do the ones you have missed on the first try (hoping there are not too many).
Best of luck with Calculus! I hope this helps.
Now back to studying for my Physiology final... (Why am I even on here???)

This was told to me by one of the most respected PhD professors in Mechanical Engineering at Ohio State, I didn't just pull it out of my ass.
So far things have been a breeze for me. I start multivariable calculus (it's 254 at my school, I guess it's like IV in the series some of you talk about) this summer and then get into my core Mechanical Engineering classes in the Autumn. Oh how I can't wait for ME 410

MATLAB is the sh*t, I kinda like using it because I took an intro to C++ class and I can breeze right through most anything in it. The finals for my fundamentals of engineering were in MATLAB and I rocked them like a hurricane
Have you ever used Inventor 8? I like that a lot too. Both that and the MATLAB were in my first year cirriculum.
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
