"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I'm still looking
Forgive me if there is already a topic on this subject, I did search.

Lately I have been craving a good book/series to get my claws in. To give you an idea of what I have read recently, Oryx and Crake was one of those books I couldn't put down. The sequel Year of the Flood was good, but not at the same level. I hear there is a third and final book in the works so I hope that materializes.

So any suggestions? I do like books with a bit of war drama in it. Kind of like The Things They Carried.
 

"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.

Beyond your peripheral vision
Read some old Stephen King. Try "The Long Walk", which is one of four shorter stories that he did in "The Bachman Books", which was awesome, or you can get it by itself now. http://www.amazon.com/The-Long-Walk-Stephen-King/dp/0451196716

If you are up for a bigger read, then check out his Dark Tower series. Also, the Last Stand was epic.

Also, the Game of Thrones books are epic, more amazing than the HBO series. LONG books, but hard to put down so you get through them quickly.

Game of thrones series is based off a book series which is 10x better. Series is called song of ice and fire.
