"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.

As you probably already know, Halloween is approaching - it's on this Saturday actually.

There are lots of parties and events - all great opportunities to have some fun.

Does anyone have any costume ideas? Could be funny, interesting, etc.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

I have a blank white tee that I painted "cheap ass costume" on the front.

For goodness sakes, avoid dressing like some celebrity that's currently being media exposed to death. I've seen articles about people who plan to go as Octomom, Balloon Boy, John and Kate. Jeez, last year it was Sarah Palin. These are costumes? When did this sort of thing become popular?

The Ostrich Rider is always a good one. Bit on the complex side though.

I usually go simple. Hat, poncho, few-days beard growth and boots with spurs this year. I may have to chew on some grass stalk or similar to complete the frame.

I figure I'll just be someone from flashdance, lol! No, in all seriousness, probably I'll be the straight guy from 300.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
