"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.

Well, I was at this convention and there was this hot booth babe. I was only trying to get a picture with her, but even then I was too nervous to ask. :(

She probably knew what I wanted but because I looked too nervous, she didn't like me and just walked off. I didn't follow her as I didn't want to annoy her or anything.

Looks like boot camp for me. :\

"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.

Get over it. Those booth-babes wouldn't be there if they weren't getting paid, so it doesn't really count as reality. I never treat them any different than if they were working at Target or something. They're not dressed up and glamourous for you, they are that way for the check, and 99% of the dudes hitting on them are morons, so they've really got their walls up.

Go out and say hi to a bunch of chicks/people, and you'll feel much better. Go talk to a real girl.

Off to the side, whether you saw her or not, there was a hb7 or so who was glaring at the booth babe, thinking "that skinny b!tch think's she's all that." Go chat up that girl and you will get laid. You'd rather have that than some photo, right?

I know. Although I'm probably still an AFC, LOL.
 

"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.

no wjh, his attitude is not decent.

If it was decent, he would have had the right vibe and mood, ask her for the pic and shed be happy to take it.

Last party i asked this cute older woman to take a pic with me, and even asked her how old she was, 49 i was like wow. Its no big deal, but the attidude is what needs fixing.
