Planning a date on Super Bowl Sunday was a bad idea my friend. It shows you have nothing going on. Never plan a date on days like that. I would just move on all together. Good luck.
"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.
Seems some ladies do not like my accent... WTF?

"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.

Forgot it was Superbowl. Believe it or not, not everyone follows football.

As we get older, regional accents work against us more and more. I'm born and bred NY suburbs, which means a mild NY accent that has diminished over time. I think it's always a good idea to moderate one's regional accent. Having said that, my girlfriend loves my pronunciation of water (wauter).
In most cases, a strong regional accent makes one appear uneducated or "slow" to those who don't have that accent. It's just human wiring. One can increase his appeal by moderating his accent and learning to enunciate more clearly.

In this case, would it technically be a dialect rather than an accent because the core language is the same?
It’s a minor point, but I’m just curious because I’m a nerd lol.

Australian or England accent raises perceptions of intelligence.
“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”
Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

I’m talking about regional accents. From within the same country. In my area the Australian accent has decreased in favor over the past few decades.
@Mike32ct you are correct in some places in the world, but within the United States we usually think in terms of accents (e.g. “southern accent”) since the language is essentially the same. Just the way the same words are pronounced is was causes the perception of an accent. I’m pretty sure that dialects involve using actual different words as if speaking another language. I could be wrong but that has always been my perception of the concept of dialects.

Anyways, I followed up a day after, she responded about an hour later and asked me a question, then before I could respond she said she wasn't feeling well and was going to sleep. I told her to feel better and if she's better by the end of the week we should meet up for the drink. She texted back, thanks and I will keep in touch.
Gotta love it.
