"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.

Crap...I was at this party yesterday... anyway, was pretty wasted and was making out with this chick.
After a while I got this blackout, and a few hours later I'm on my way home (dont know how I got there, haha ;) ...apparently, she got my msn somehow, and says that I promised to meet her again so she can get to know me when I'm sober (don't know what happened between us...).
I think we might have fvcked, since she said I left her about an hour after my blackout. Btw, she is probably a 5 or so on my scale, so I really don't want to escalate.

Anyways, I told her on msn that I don't remember that much and that I thought she was drunk (which she said she wasn't :rolleyes: ...probably was though). Also that I couldn't really see her again... don't really want to hurt her feelings (as that could lead to me getting an unwanted reputation...).

Just needed to spill my beans people :cool: ...so dont come saying I'm all AFC for looking for advice and crap.

So just a recommendation; take it waaay easy on the alcohol next time ur at a party, or u may end up with a chick u really dont want :p
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

I thought this post was gonna have some heart-wrenching story about your girlfriend dying while you were driving drunk. Instead it just stated the obvious. But it is legitimate advice, so don't drink and drive.

too many people these days drink to get drunk and not drink to have fun,,,, ecpesially where i live , everyone here is like on a race to see who gets drunk fastest... I have only been really drunk twice in my life , once at my cousins birthday party and once when it was my second time that i drank alchohol.... now i mix the drinx good so that it tastes good and give me a buzz rather then doing a fifty fifty wich after 4-5 glasses made me really drunk i,.... not a good idea if u ask me....

Yeah since I quit drinking, my HS life has been alot better. I still smoke sometime, but not at parties, just with my close friends at my house every so often.
 

"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.

"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.

HELL YES!!

Them forties is gangsta. Nothin' better than downing a nice Olde English 800.

Actually Olde English tastes like sh*t, but it'll get the job done. I prefer nice vodka to malt liquor (Grey Goose, Absolut, etc.). And I'm a fan of beer as well.

I don't know what you naysayers are talking about. If you keep yourself in control, drinking can be a helluva lot of fun. Personally, when I drink I always make sure I still have control of myself. I have never driven drunk, I have never thrown up or passed out from drinking, I've never done anything I regret later on, I've never just drank for the sake of drinking (I only do at parties or when hanging out with a small group at someone's house), and I always remember what I do, so I'm never just waking up somewhere I don't know where I am. However, even through all that I still like to drink and get drunk. Being drunk is a good feeling, you lose a lot of your cares and worries, and it eases tensions and awkwardness in many situations. Additonally, it's a social activity that is fun.

Unfortunately, not everyone that drinks is like me and they let themselves get out of control sometimes. That's their problem. Despite this, I will still continue to drink as long as I still enjoy it and keep it controlled.
