"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.

What is a good way to make people I just met feel at ease when talking to me? Compliment?
 

"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.

I've heard that the way you act is contageous. That is, if you're enthusiatic and hyped up, your attitude will influence others in getting pumped up. So if you want people be feel relaxed around you, my suggestion would be to be relaxed yourself. Act laid-back and talk in a soft, "ahhh this is paradise" kind of a chill voice.

always smile and try to crack some jokes (that you know are funny) talk to everyone.. even that ugly girl whom no one notices.. say hi... dont let people know you're shallow even if you are. they'll end up thinking you aint superficial and will loosen up around you. hope this helps.

When you are complety relaxed yourself, you will not have to ask that question.
 

"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.

What about mirroring body language to build rapport, then start to lead them into a more relaxed feeling?

Yeah, i think what they have all said fits about right, if you are softly spoken and confident in what you say, people will listen to you, and then adopt your mannerisms.
I dont know if the rest of the guys will agree with me on this one, but i think you could even use really light kino to connect with someone, and put them at ease. Nothing too much, but a touch on the shoulder when you tell her something important could help her feel more binded to you, and therefore more relaxed.
