"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.

Been down on my luck lately; having a hard time getting second dates, maintaining interest, getting flaked on, etc. I can sense i'm starting to get bitter and angry and was thinking maybe taking a short hiatus from the dating scene wouldn't be a terrible idea.

I don't even think the problem is me. I'm fit, told i'm very handsome, funny.. but it feels like any decent girl these days has more options than she knows what to do with. Five or ten years ago locking a girl down wasn't a problem, now if I can keep them around for a month or two i'm doing well. I'm in the best shape of my life too.

Before I get off topic.. do you guys ever take a step back from dating when you feel like you're getting burned out?
 

"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.
