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.
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.
oh, okay...sorry 'bout that. you're right, i'm an idiot. i really need to grow up.Originally posted by Alph

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.

wasn't it you who asked how to be popular in high school in the The Mature Man forum?
my point was, if you try to be popular, it will blow up on you.
Al Gore (do you know who he is?) tried to be popular--people saw right through it. if you try to be popular, you are insecure. if you try to be popular, you end up appeasing people. you become known as the "sunshine boy"--a little svckazz that no one respects--like those nerds i spoke of. they wanted to hang with us, and they gave us $$$ for the pleasure. and if you ASK how to be popular, it's even worse.
didn't this just happen to you with your post? merely asking this question means you're a poser. How to become popular? hmmmm.....
funny thing is that people my age do this all the time, especially in my line of work. it's pathetic, cuz i'm still the popular one to this day. the more things change, the more they stay the same.
so let me answer your question. the way to become popular is to gain respect.
but what do i know...i'm an idiot.
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.

nah, i think the only one who didn't get it was the original poster, Alph. but i think he's coming around...Originally posted by FratAndDiddy
Too Cold, youre getting pounded over here.
doesn't sound like your too "popular."
If you change your image, it can make you popular, iv seen it happen, it started to happen with me and then i thought wtf, these guys are jerks and left. Popularity is a facade and is quite easily gained.Originally posted by TyTe`EyEs
JSH, are you saying that by changing his image he will become popular?
I beg to differ.
