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.
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.
Have you tried douching?goodfoot said:I've been washing my hands for forever. Will vinegar work or something like that? I got another date for the Super Bowl.
I will recommend it to herMantis Toboggan said:Have you tried douching?
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
Won't that make me smell like vinegar?Bible_Belt said:Vinegar will kill most bad smells, which is why it's used as douche.

ok guys just saying pussies are not suposed to smell bad...
i prescribe that you go puke for an hour, then proceed sitting under a hot shower swinging back and front while crying.
if it smelt bad it mean she had some kind of mushroom/infection so i'd say you shoudl jsut chop your hands off and never touch a girl that smell again.
Wow that looks like alien pvssy! Anyway, I didn't have vinegar. I wound up using hand sanitizer; that worked ok. I didn't fvck her. I just fingered her. When I smelled it I lied and said I didn't have a condom.badboyjmm said:HAHA the girl is starting to develop "blue waffles" http://www.documentingreality.com/forum/f149/blue-waffle-infection-really-gross-42939/
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.
