"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.

Over the last few months I've noticed that most of the guys i talk to in school show typical girly type indicators of interest. Even the male teachers do this :crazy:

Typically I see them touching up their hair , tidying up their shirts and jeans, messing around with rings or such while around me, having their legs crossed up with one of their feet pointing at me, often rocking back and forth, having their upper body directed towards me while they're busy doing something else.

I'm pretty sure that they arent gay so what would be the reason for this body language? Is it just my personality getting that kind of reactions or what? Are both sexes coded to show their approval to someone in the same ways?
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Check out "The Definitive Book of Body Language". These aren't IOI's. Men and women show their interest differently. Coming from a male these can actually mean NEGATIVE things. For instance, when two men talk, if one man busies himself by picking lint off himself, it often means he disagrees with you but won't say anything. Simply facing you means that he's engaged by whatever you're saying.
