"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 currently in my freshman year in college, enrolled as a mechanical engineer major. I'm having my doubts about continuing this next year, though, because it just doesn't seem like its for me. I'm good at math, but I'm horrible at physics and I just don't think I have that real desire to succeed in this career. Building rockets and cars and stuff just doesn't really interest me. I want to do something with my life that I actually find at least a little interesting, but I'm unsure of what I should pursue.

Or maybe I just need to quit complaining about my major, suck it up, and stick with engineering. I'm a little confused right now, and I'm just trying to get advice from as many people as I can, including conselors. Do you guys have any advice?
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Do what you love and love what you do. Sounds to me like you have serious reservations about doing this degree. Is there something else that you really enjoy that you could do regardless of societal perceptions or earning value?

Have you thought about economics? Math geniuses run the economy.

And you should do something that more than just interests you. You should develop a passion for it. Because think about it this way. Whatever you decide to do after college, you will most likely end up doing that for the rest of your life. Can you seriously get up every single morning and do the thing that, in your words, "at least interests you a little bit"?

Go undecided for a semester. Not knowing what you want to do your first few years of college is not a bad thing at all. At least you're getting yourself into the college system which is a very good way to get coached in understanding higher levels of socialization. Going undecided keeps your mind open to more possibilities for longer if you still pay attention and take your core classes some what seriously. Also concider that the vast majority of people who go to college work in a field different from their field of study. It's not so much the major but the passion in the person learning and growing on that stage that accounts for the clearly greater sucess.

Do accounting or computer engineering.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

You dont have to declare a major until your jr year. Take a variety of classes and do your own research regarding what youre interested in.
