"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.

hey allen, whats up?

got a few suggestions. get rid of this forum and merge it with the anything else forum. lol i'm persistent on that since i suggested it long ago.

tell sociopath and syncmaster to go back and clean up the back pages of their forum since it looks like they have about 20 pages of stuff in there. no sense wasting bandwith on it. they could probably bring it down to 7 useful pages.

tips section, let trickynick clean it up some. its too watered down and spread thin with pseudo marginalized tips. if he went to the back pages and cleaned it up a bit no one would miss the stuff.
 

"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.

I'd just like to point out, for those of you who don't know, that this is the first forum I visit and I always read every post in here.

I may not respond to every post but every suggestion is taken into consideration. I'm always looking to make the forum better.

As far as the Tips forum goes, I've been going back and deleting some of the older ones, for a number of reasons... the main reason being that a tip is just not very good. That's why you frequently get broken links in the DJ Bible. But this is a time-consuming process -- I've been working on it for a couple months -- and I'm only up to the end of July. Anything posted before the end of July is at least okay.
