"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.

Can you learn someting from "approach journal's?"

"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.

From reading the Journal, it inspire me to start my own. Thats how valuable I think Journals are. I would rather see stuff from guys that are out in the field and seeing real results then the KJ that frequent the forum. Funny question though... I thought its pretty obvious you can learn heaps from Journals.

I think it would depend on "which" approach journal you looked at. Perceptions are rarely accurate. Some people have a useful way of perceiving things, and others have, well, something else going on.

You could also just APPROACH. It doesn't matter how many openers you've memorized or how many journals you've read.

THERE IS NO MAGIC FORMULA.

You have to approach, and you will crash and burn a few times, GET USED TO IT. ENJOY IT.
