"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.

Okay I had a prom date but we both were each others 2nd choices. Now her first choice who was her ex boyfriend but their back together wants to go to prom with her and if she doesn't go to prom he'll break up with her. So I just told her to go with her boyfriend because I really didn't want to go with her she can't dance, she complains alot and at the end of the night I doubt she'd give it up. So Now I have like less than a month to find a new date. What should I do
 

"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.

Take a senior they probably are dying to go to prom again. Or you can go for easy freshmen girls who dream of going to prom their 1st year so they can brag to their friends.

Well, I'm a senior and the prom is on Friday. There's no one I wanted to go with, but anyway...I'll just go solo and mess with all the girls who are there. I'm sure I can steal a few dances. ;-)
 

"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.
