"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.

I just finished watching the anime series "Gundam Wing"

The main character and the other 4 pilots were so unique, to say the least.
They fought for themselves.
They acted on their emotions.
Their thinking was just so straightforward and decisive.

It is a series about war in the future and them trying to establish total pacifism.

If you've got time, I'd suggest u check it out.
Plus the fight scenes are pretty cool as well.

But pay attention to the characters and how they think and act.

After i finished the sort series (only 49 eps), I wanted to be like Heero (main character). He acts on his emotions and does it with confidence. He doesn't care about what might happen. He is skilled in every way and very in control of himself.

don't watch the dubbed episodes.
they are lame.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Geeks.
lol

Seriously though, wanting to be like someone else is going against exactly the philosophy that that person lives by.

Its called a role model.

You might have someone called a dad who might be your role model, or other important male who've influenced you in a positive way.
I'd rather model behaviours to be honest.
 

"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.

Gundam Wing is awesome, although these days I prefer Gundam SEED. Kira starts out as a whiny little b!tch but ends up a strong confident man with exremely strong beliefs who will do what it takes for what he believes in. DJ?

By the way dubbed anime is way better than subtitles.

If you want an exceptional quality, alpha-male, ass kicking Anime...watch Afro Samurai. There are like 4 episodes. Maybe six.

Cowboy BeBop and Samurai Champloo are good too, but much more involved. 20+ Episodes each, but nearly all are unique enough to be watched in random sequence.

Thumbs up for Anime.
