"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.

The situation is quite complicated but I will go ahead and do my best at explaining it. You see, there is this girl I have had my eye on for a while, the problem being that she has a boyfriend, he happens to know that I like her, as well as her knowing that I like her. Tomorrow we are having a culture food night, for the members of our group, and I have gathered through some quick he-said-she-said, that she will be bringing her boyfriend. Is there anyway that I might act that would impress her, in front of her boyfriend?
 

"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.

How to impress a woman in front of her boyfriend: Don't.

How to act in front of a woman with her boyfriend: Your usual great self.

The difference? You may think is minimal. The result however...

Just be yourself, whats the point of pretending to act like something you arent? Just be confident, charismatic and charming. Be the bigger man. Dont be intimidated, when you see them walk over and say hi, give her attention first then turn to the guy if you havent officially met him and extend a FIRM handshake introducing yourself.

Don't go out of your way to impress her. Pretend like she's not their.

"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.
