"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.

Eye contact and a nasty habbit.

I have no problem looking into a girls eyes during conversation.No problem at all. The problem is every time I do, I start nodding my head at everything she says. I've noticed it during conversation. I've also noticed when I look a girl in her eyes, I have a hard time paying attention to what she is saying. Kinda feels like I'm getting caught in the "sharing a moment" thing and don't pay enough attention to what she says. Is this a big deal, or something I should just brush off?

Post some advice.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

I have this problem too, but it's not just with girls. Whenever I look in a persons eyes, I totally am not listening to what they are saying because I am so concentrated on looking in their eyes. If I don't keep eye contact, I can follow along fine. Very weird.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

You can draw a pair of eyes on your eye lids, like Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Carribean. That way you are not starring at her yet she thinks you are.

Try looking at foreheads while talking to strangers, it works even when police interrogate you, they'll think you looking at their eyes (anti-lie-detector). Then look into eyes once in a while till you comfortable with it...
