"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.

Improving game while having a girlfriend?

I've had a girlfriend for 8 months now and I like her very deeply. The thing is, I still want to improve my game WITHOUT cheating. I just find the art of understanding woman and picking them up is kind of fascinating to me, and I'm very good at it. I always talk to female friends of mine and I know how to hold a conversation but it's getting to the point where I've hit the end of the line of everything I can do. Anything more would be cheating. I feel like I've mastered the art of picking them up, but actually going out on a date and maybe even sleeping with them I will never know because I can never try.

I guess I'm just wondering what all I can do to help practice my game without my girlfriend throwing a fit.
 

"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.

Well the best way to improve yourgame is to improve yorself. So like while you have a GF, focus on something besides girls. Like me when I am not busy working up the ladies, I am programming or soemthing of the sort. Try to focus on a passion or something of the related sense.

Yeah, you know things like game are not discreet, there is no algorithm for it. Its like looking at a very dim star, to see it you have to look past it, never directly at it.
