"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.

...well I think I do. Instead of purchasing a new PS3, I'm going to go get some nice clothes and exert myself more into the social envoirment rather than playing video games.:nono: I mean playing them is fine but it can get addicting and it's time for me to move on. So I'm going to make a more concerted effort to engage in more social settings and gatherings/concerts/parties what not and engage with people. I mean isn't that what picking up women is-- being able to talk to people while maintaining fine self-awareness? I"ll be focusing on school and having fun and be on the website less. Best of wishes:up:
 

"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.

That is a great idea, what helped me do that also, was when i learned to make a video game, once you know how it works, its not so interesting, and then you realize every single game is the same thing, but a different story/character. Better off just reading an adventure book.

What a concept . . . stop playing video games.

I know . . . why dont they make a DJ video game. Every time you blow it with a chick, Don Juan comes out and kicks you in the nuts.

This way, you'll never have to leave home, and you can start a forum, and compare cyber scores and who has the most points.
