"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.

I'm thinking about asking this girl out on a date. The problem is, I don't have any good ideas. Yes, I realize there's always dinner and a movie but that's boring. I'm a 20 year old college student, so bars are out of the option.

Also, I don't want to take them to parties. In my opinion, parties are where you MEET people, not where you take dates.

And there are no good dance clubs around. This town really sucks as far as underage entertainment is concerned. This is why I need advice.

The best things I currently have are ice cream and bowling. Anything else?
 

"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.

Everywhere you want to be.... I'm like a Visa card
An action date is always the best idea for the first date. You said bowling, and that's not a bad choice at all. Otherwise, think about these:

Batting Cages
Tennis
Pool
Mini-Golf
Amusement Park
Carnival
Zoo

How about something not so predetermined? I find the best dates are the ones that are done without the thought.

Take her for a walk around the park or something. Tell her last minute you're going into the city (wherever that may be) and you wouldn't mind some company.

Women love dates that are not set in stone. They want to be shown things. They want to be lead. They don't want to go on a date knowing exactly what's going to happen.

It's winter. If there's an ice skating rink around and you can hold your own, presto. Really depends on the girl and what your impression of what she might be interested in is, but I find that action dates, especially where you know what you're doing, are GOLD.
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

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.
