"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.

Personally, I think crying over a dead mouse makes you a big wuss but that is by the point.

IT IS ONLY A BIG DEAL IF YOU MAKE IT A BIG DEAL. Starting a conversation with her about how she saw you crying and what she thinks of you after that only screams of insecurity.

She'll be laughing in the back of her mind like what type of man are you that you not only cried over a dead mouse but you're worried about how she perceives you.

You have to maintain a strong frame and just act like it's no big deal. She will see you don't care about it or what she thinks about you and she will move on.

Draw her into your frame not the other way around.
 

"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.

Wow... I've killed so much stuff in my life I can't even imagine someone having a hard time killing a mouse. When you are doing these type of things it's generally not a bad thing if you have good reason to do it. A mouse in the house spreading disease destroying things is good reason to kill something. His death is justified because he is putting your life in danger.

I know you have heard things like that said before so maybe it doesn't mean much to you. Millions of people have suffered and died from rodent spread disease. Kill the mouse dude...
