"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.

The unpredictable card is a lot like the bluff in Poker. THe game would be really boring without it. And predictable too.

I think alot of us think that getting her interest level is a predictable process where you build rapport/curiosity/challenge/control/

ONe by one, and then you stay in those modes like a prizefighter that is working you into the corner so he can bring the roundhouse.

Bad move.

Simply because she probably is more observant than you think and she can begin to see through your game.

So you bring the bluff.

Use it when you think she might be slightly cooling in interest level .

A few bluffs: Dont call her for a week, go on an exciting trip and dont tell her, take up a new hobby, show up somewhere with a female "buddy", do an offbeat date, or saying something totally out of character.

Once she starts begging you to explain yourself (she's testing to see how predictable you are) refuse to answer her questions.

Keep her off balance by bluffing. Dont let her see your cards.
 

"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.
