"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.

Religious people aren't all bad...just the radical ones. It's their churches that tell them they have to go door knocking to try to recruit. When I was married and living in Florida this little old Jehovah's Witness lady came knocking on my door. She was so sweet and I liked her. I didn't know anyone there and my ex was really abusive and I thought it would be nice to have someone to talk to. I told her up front that I was never going to join her religion and that I'm usually very annoyed by people knocking at my door like that. I also told her that I wouldn't mind having her come back to visit me once a week to talk about religion in general and what not as long as she promised not to be pushy and to understand that I would not change my mind about her religion because I don't like organized religion. So...for about 6 months she would come over once a week and we'd sit out on the patio, drink tea and just hang out. Sometimes we'd talk religion and other times we'd talk about our kids, husbands, the news, etc. It was kinda nice. She promised me that she would make sure no one else ever came pestering me from her church and they never did, lol. She was such a sweetheart.

It's cool to dislike people who are pushy and intrusive....but you shouldn't dislike them just for being religious. :)
 

"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.
