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.
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 did that with a girl once. I've been riding since I was 4 but I quit in 8th grade because I never really liked it, though everyone told me I had potential. When I rode with the girl I hadn't ridden a horse in 2 years and I looked like a complete a dumbass cause I had no idea what I was doing. Still fun though. If you do go horseback riding with a girl make sure you've ridden a horse before, its a lot more difficicult then it looks. That should be common sense to everyone though.TWO WORDS>>> HORSEBACK RIDING
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
ya a movie is supposedly used by everyone, but wtf movies are great.Originally posted by bob2007
I'd rather go watch a movie tho, among all those things.
I find bowling extremely boring.
Beach sounds good, but what do you do there all day?
What bout real golf? Although I've never tried play real golf.

youll rarely find an experienced smoker that isnt totally ****ed up.Originally posted by katoom
Haha ok well I was readin my old posts. Damn that was a long time ago... Did all that **** with my girl, had an awesome time... We went out for a year and a half, but i was gone for a couple weeks wakeboarding, i come back and she was seein some other guy... Hah, you gotta keep up the DJing no matter how long your goin out.
But annnnnnyways I digress.
Just throwin out a couple of my most recent dates and a couple im planning to do this weekend.
Cultural food,
I took a girl to a real japanese sushi bar where they make you take off your shoes n all that stuff. She'd never been to anywhere like that before. Order some stuff like Cali roles that everyone likes, then you have to order something weird. I make her look through the menu and pick the weirdest sounding thing there. Dont forget the Saki though. Makes for an interesting date.
Beach variation
Aight well this is kind of a spin off of the cultural food thing, I dont recommend you do these two with the same girl, or close together. I grabbed some take out sushi, threw a beach towel in the car and took my date down to the beach as the sun was setting. We chilled and ate sushi, I tought her how to use chop sticks, awesome kino in there.
Another Beach date.
Hah ok well this one I just thought up today, was gonna take this girl out to the beach when the tide is out and we go searching for shells, bring a disposable camera and have fun takin pictures of each other doin stupid ****. Drop the camera off at some 1 hour photo place and go grab icecream or walk around and pick em up later and laugh at each others stupidity.
Course all these dates were with differant girls so nothin got played out. Hah what I want is to find a girl that blazes. Dates would be so easy, just get together at night, smoke a joint listen to music and look at the stars. Ahhh my dream girl haha.

I think concerts are a pretty good idea. The closer you are to the mosh pit, the closer she tends to get to you which means some major kino. Of course, this wouldn't work at like a hip-hop, country, or pop concert. The band would have to be sufficiently hard enought to mosh to.Originally posted by RaMar
hmm im curious if I should take my girl to a concert? Is that good?
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.
