"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.

Need suggestions for pulling a prank. Or something memorable.

Find myself in an interesting situation. I sent out an email to about a 150 friends and associates yesterday asking for their postal address without explaining why I wanted it.

I'd taken a stunning fine art photograph last week and I just wanted to mail all of them a photograph/post card with a personal note scribbled on the back.

I was expecting to get about 1-2 dozen responses at most. I got a 100+

Now since I didn't explain why I wanted the postal addresses everyone's super curious and I seem to have created a monster :D Emails are streaming in every 5 minutes from people curious as to what this is all about and how they're waiting very expectantly to see what it is I'm going to send them.

Lol I'm a little clueless as to what I can do, I still intend to send the photograph but an opportunity to do something memorable/legendary like this doesn't come along very often :D

Any suggestions as to what else I could do? I'm hoping for some interesting/weird/cool ideas not really pranks or anything involving porn/gross out stuff etc.
 

"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.

Lol yeah seriously :) That'll work via post! :D

Anybody else? I've got ideas involving Scientology and qr codes but nothing that comes across as more than more than mildly amusing :p
 

"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.
