"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.

Hey,

so I'm from Germany and I'll be done with high school in June 2014. After that I would like to travel for I guess about 2-4 weeks. I would like to stay in Europe because that would mean getting there would be cheaper. I speak german and english fluently and I also know french but I'm not that good at it.

So does anyone have any suggestions on what some great places to travel to would be in Europe? I would like to spend the least amount of money possible. Also I'm not looking for typical tourist stuff. I want to actually get to know people and the culture and not just go seightseeing. I wouldn't mind sort of a out of the ordinary travel experience. So any thoughts/suggestions?

Thanks
 

"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.

Dude skip Europe and travel through Asia, getting there will cost a little bit more but you'll save a vast amount of money on food and alcohol. China is an incredible place to explore, as is Vietnam.
 

"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.
