"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 have wrote on this site in the past on how my goal is to start a family. I always thought I wanted to replicate, pass on my genes.

A few month ago I read the Selfish gene by Richard Dawkins. He pointed out that, yes you may pass on your genes, but your grandchildren will only be 25% of you. Eventually as your gene passes on & on through the generations…you will be long gone.

I already try to make the most out of life, but now I going to enjoy my life even more than I did before. To be honest I feel like it’s a weight of my shoulders.

David de angelo recommends the following books -

Who am I by Steven Reiss

Influence - the psychology of persuasion

Comedy writing secrets by Melvin helitzer

The Mating mind by Geoffrey Miller

The Red Queen by Matt Ridley

Think & grow Rich by Napolean hill

Mastery - The keys to success & long term fulfillment

Frogs into princes NLP

Bad Boys by Carol Lieberman

How to be the jerk women love f g sharks

The rules (this book is about womens rules for dating)

Feel the fear & do it anyway by Susan Jeffers

Actually just buy David De Angelo's E-book "Double Your Dating" That's a great start.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

You are just contributing to society by making a kid. Your grandchildren still have your name or if you have made a big business then this shall carry on with your grandchildren or if you have a house or an old car ,these things will stay as long as you want.

Forgive me if I am wrong, but aren't there some genes which are dominant and will always be passed on? Been a long time since Grade 12 Gregor Mendel genetics biology
