"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

So I work as a sales engineer at a steel service center. I am the youngest and newest guy there; everyone else is late 30's+ and married. The women I work with cannot believe that I am single and don't care about getting married, I have had a blast making them think I am a playboy one minute and letting them see my charm and intelligence in the next.

For instance, at our first sales & admin meeting the President introduced me to the company. He asked me some questions about my previous experience, ending with "So what made you want to leave finance, Will?" I said, "Well, there was an issue of sexual harassment. And unfortunately, the allegations are true." The room went silent, and I saw every kind of expression you can imagine: distaste, humor, bewilderment, etc. After letting it cook for a couple excruciating seconds, I shook my head and added "The women just couldn't keep their hands off me!" The room erupted in laughter and I was a made man.

Well, there is a hot 22 year old office assistant, "Mary". Not her name, but that's what I've called her. She isn't a bimbo phone operator, she's into pricing and statistical analysis and record maintenance. Several people have made direct or indirect allusions that we should hook up. The women are especially all over it. I've had a little banter with her, I mean I'm learning a new business here and I can't be playing footsie all day.

The company takes all the office staff out to lunch about three days a week; it's a sweet deal. Friday we were going out the door and someone leaned into her office and said, "Hey, you going out?" She shook her head. I walked on by, then turned around in a moment of game inspiration and said, "You know, it's probably a good idea for you not to go...I wasn't going to say anything, but you've been gaining some weight." Bear in mind this girl is thin as a rail and looks like a runner. She instantly beamed and radiated joy; she almost couldn't handle the tingles I had given her.

When I came back from lunch, the women had gone to a different place and they told me that Mary, who is usually quiet, had been quite the chatterbox at lunch. And the topic of conversation was the little exchange I had initiated.

Yessir, I know not to mess around at work. But that doesn't mean I can't have a little fun on the way:woo:
 

"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.

YOu got big balls to say this in front of your employers.

She could just as easily gone off and cried to the boss and got you reprimanded.

You have to be SO careful with chicks at work with what you say to them.

But you do have balls.

I came into this job like a bull in a china shop, but this is one case where I cannot try to outdo myself, or I will eventuallly push it too far.
 

"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.
