"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 know i'm about to get gunned down.. but.. are there any circumstances where if you've started seeing a girl and you've messed up with after a couple dates (acting afc or called too much/acting desperate/got angry with her/told her off) and she's passionate and so is her family about something say tennis and you went to a prestigious tennis event like the US open in flushing meadow and got a free souvenir. would it be just too creepy if you posted her the free gift as an xmas present as a peace offering?

would under any circumstances would it appear sweet and thoughtful as oppose to creepy and stalkerish?

i know you're not suppose to buy gifts to get a woman's approval but i haven't paid for it, it was free. i think her family would appreciate it as a great present but if i include a letter it'll just seem too 'love' letter infatuated stalker i was thinking.
 

"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.
