If you guys get a chance check out the mini-series on HBO. I know a lot of people don't like American history but this show brings you into the time period. Seeing it is definitely different then just reading about the facts in some random history book. This could be right up there with Band of Brothers.
"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.

"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's wrong with American(and other) history? I think it's great. And I don't base my knowledge on anything based on movies. While I'm sure this HBO show will be pretty good, I sure won't trust it for it's accuracy.

Its kind of funny that Tom Wilkinson is playing Ben Franklin as being that character he is now on the side of the Revolution when earlier in his career in the movie The Patriot he played the leader of the British forces Gen. Lord Charles Cornwallis.

"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Heh heh I've loved that movie for years Penny.
I finally got around to ordering it on Amazon not too long ago.
Just waiting for it to arrive along with a few other movies.
I decided on getting the extended cut edition of it.

As a history teacher, I take offense Sir!armadon said:
Seriously, I had no idea there was such a show on HBO. I like the historically-based dramas. "Deadwood" was amazing. However historically inaccurate a show may/may not be, a show that has the potential to pique someone's interest in a historical character is a good thing.
John Adams was a pretty hip dude too...
