"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.

Lets see a woman pays for the dinner and doesn't allow you to do anything about it. What can the man do that same night to make it up for the woman?
 

"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.

Tell her the nightcap at the bar you want to take her to is on you. That's if you feel the need to make it up to her, which evidently you do. I wouldn't feel the need to "make it up to her". If she bought you dinner, just take it for what it is, a kind gesture. Don't feel the immediate need to reciprocate.

Or just give her sex. :D

sometimes i get the check. it means i have the money to do it tonite, and another time i will not and you will have to get the check.
when i was single and i got the check, it meant i didnt want some guy to pay for my dinner and then get it in his head that i owed him anything. i didnt like feeling that way :)

Generally if a girl asks a guy out, she usually will pay for the date...however, when the check comes you should still at least offer to pay the tab. Even if she winds up covering it, you guys can go grab drinks/etc...and you can cover her.

Sometimes they feel overwhelmed and want to feel independent in a way. It's usually not a bad sign. However, it's proven to be bad luck for me if a girl picks up the tab on our first date. It's just me anyways.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Why are you concern about small stuff like that?? you need to look at the bigger picture and that is how well was she receptive to your advances and whether or not you will see her again.

Or she doesn't like you and doesn't want to give you the idea that she should be indebted to you.
