"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.

So I'm going out of town in a week. I need a dogsitter while I'm away. Coincidentally I ask this cute girl on Facebook if she'd be down and I'd pay her and blah blah. She not only says yes, but says she'll do it for free. I insist on paying her something, and she responds with "Hahah how aboutttt instead of paying me, you do me a favor in return?"

This seems like the most obvious IOI I've gotten in a while. The fact that she wants to do this for free is another, as it's a 6-7 hour thing.

Have you guys gotten any really obvious IOIs recently? If so, please share.
 

"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.

Where's the favor??? You don't just agree without knowing what she wants. You're thinking sex, and she thinking you do her laundry for the next 6 months.

Make sure she's not asking you to digsit in return :crackup:

Nah though, it sounds good. Tell her it depends what she needs, or something funny I'm sure you know what to write.
Yup. I actually haven't agreed to the favor yet, so I'll be sure to play it off correctly lol.
