"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.

Is this that unusual?

Well, firstly I would like to say that I am quite insecure about how I look, which is reflected in a couple of old threads I have made, and is prevalent in this thread too. Basically every morning I have to wash my eyes for a few minutes with a flannel in order to look a lot better throughout the day. If I don't do this, I look really rough and terrible throughout the whole day; I don't seem to start looking better as the day goes on naturaly like most people do after they wake up. Is it that unusual that I have to go through this ritual to look half decent for the day? Note that it only works if done around an hour after waking up, it is useless if done immediately after waking. What concerns me is that I won't always be able to do this. I'm off to Uni in October and if I have early lecture starts I won't be able to go through this routine, and will worry that people are staring at me because of how bad I look, and worse this will badly affect my chances with women, which is already bad enough as it is. I know I should be more secure in how I look, and just not go through this charade every morning in order to improve my self-esteem. What do you guys think? Thanks for any help.
 

"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.

What exactly does this ritual prevent?
My eyes looking terrible and/or scary! My right eye is always noticeably bigger and narrower than my left eye and stays looking this hideous way if I don't wash my eyes in the morning.

...You sure your not just self conscious?

Isn't how your eye looks just dependent on the muscles your using? Eh...

...Bigger... ( O ) and narrower... ( () )... So your eye looks like this. (())

Well I guess some of it is self-consciousness. It is definitely apparent though, the eye thing, but perhaps my sel-consciousness magnifies it into looking worse than it actually is. I really hate how I look if I don't wash my eyes though.
