"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.

"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.

Take an into to finance class or personal finances class at your university. They teach you way more than you need to know.

Bank of America's investment products are generally pretty bad.
Are you debt-free? Do you have an income or credit? You could use part of the money to get a secured credit card if you cannot get a regular credit card. With a secured account, you only get credit for the amount you have deposited. It's risk-free for the bank, which is why they are easy to get if credit card companies turn you down. Get credit, use it for stuff you would buy anyway, save the money, keep the balance for a month or two, then pay it all off and ask for a higher limit while you have a zero balance. If you have the discipline to repeat this process, within a few years you will have excellent credit, which can be used toward the purchase of your first piece of real estate.

How much is "some money"?
I'd start by getting a credit card - usually banks have a student program that offers a decent credit card. If not, you'll get something in the mail. Try to get a card with no annual or set up fees, even if the APR is a little high. Build up your credit by keeping a revolving balance of about 1/3 your limit and paying on time (so with a limit of $1000, keep a balance of around $300 and just pay the minimum or enough to keep it around $300). People will tell you that it's a good idea to pay off the entire balance every month, and while this is responcible, it's not going to build your credit as quickly. Credit card companies like to make money off of you, and if you pay off the balance every month they're making none or very little. They don't reward that with great credit ratings. Eventually (months/years) you'll start getting better offers, which you should sign up for and repeat the process while canceling your old credit cards.
If you don't have a job, get one. You can use the income to invest with, and you might pick up some other useful skills.

"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.
