"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.

A friend and I took a lake trip a few hours from home over the weekend. We met with one of his coworkers and a bunch of others. I spot an absolute dime of a 21 year old who happens to be staying with my friends coworker. I engage, talk to her a bit, apply/receive kino for quite some time. Mind you, this girl is far out of my league. I'm a 6-7 at best, body maybe an 8-9. She's easy 9.5. Didn't think I stood a chance. I get her to stay in my camper the 2 nights we stayed at the lake and smashed. I don't notice a high IL now however after we have split ways. I'm 6 hours from where she lives, which obviously poses a problem. To be honest I feel like I've been struck with oneitis even though I have several other chicks I see regularly. I know I'm putting her on a pedestal but damn. She cooked for me, cleaned for me, had interesting convos the whole trip when we talked, sex was divine. It was like I finally found the chick a Don Juan is in search of his whole life and then she's gone as quickly as she came in. I didn't show any neediness, but I still showed interest in her. i don't necessarily have a question about the situation, but it sucks. after quite a while of being single rummaging through the pile of uninteresting women to find a quality dime you know was just a one time thing. I guess at the very least I've now had more experience with high quality women.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

You've known her for 48 hours and you are sure she is a "quality woman"? Cause she is hot? Dude, get a hold of yourself and go take a cold shower.

Don't try to make this something it isn't, because you were probably nothing more than a good time for her. She's just enjoying being single.

Just be proud of yourself, enjoy the ego boost, and play it cool so you can smash in the future if the opportunity presents itself.

A lot of times guys fall in love or get oneitis with a girl they met on vacation, which is just a big mistake. Let it be an awesome memory and that's it.
 

"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.
