"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 scored myself a new job.

I work with a large number of girls and some of them are very hot and very single.

However, 4 hours into my first day, many of the girls started to call me 'sweet heart' and all at roughly the same time.

Is this good :up: that I have an affectionate name?
Or is this bad :down: that I have an affectionate name and therefore deemed unthreatening?
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

It could simply be a dilect thing. Dont hang on it, i call all women Babe, Sexy, Good Lookin, Sweetheart, Darling. Its all done in a friendly was unless i want to move it up a level then i let my body languge do the majority of the work.
Pet Names are not bad at all, i have noticed that some girls mirror my pet names now which is an IOI.

Well, i wouldn't say pet names are bad at all...

It's a sign of familiarity, which is good. But at the same time, i wouldn't read to much in to it, it doesn't mean much. But it's certainly not a bad thing.

I would say, mirror it, give her a petname as well!
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
