"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.

But yeah @ Rhoto the same thing should be applied to the DJ Bible. We shouldn't follow it like a religion.

@redspicyflag: I was never brought up religously so I wouldn't have to go through anythign like that. However my dad was brought up as a catholic and went to a religous school but as soon as he was old enough he started questioning it and now he believes in evolution. Don't let anyone else force their beliefs onto you, not even your parents.
 

"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.

There's a reason that discussions regarding politics, religion (and by extension, whether we did or did not come from little hairy chimpanzees) aren't allowed on the forum... Thanks for adhering to the rules and regs.
