"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.

hey guys, just wondering if there're any people out there who know about electronics...I'm moving into a small room next year at uni so I'm having to leave my seperates at home :-(

instead I'm thinking of building this system, it should be nice and small so perfect for my room...

I take an apple mini system ( http://store.apple.com/Apple/WebObjects/ukstore.woa/wa/RSLID ?nnmm=browse&mco=9A42D2A0&node=home/desktop/mac_mini) and hook it up to a 42" plasma tv ( http://www.hyperfi.co.uk/default.aspx?CategoryID=204&Ite mID=Panasonic_42pw6_ex-display) as the monitor....then I link it up to a BOSE Acoustimass 10 sound system ( http://www.bose.co.uk/GB/en/home-entertainment/home-cinema/s peaker-systems/AM10/index.jsp)

does that sound at all practical? any suggestions? The BOSE speakers do sound awesome although I'm up for any alternatives :)

cheers, Leeroy
 

"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.

Everyone not in your room will consider you a douchebag. The bass penetrates through dorm walls so easily even at low volume.

Altec Lansing makes great speakers, might want to check them out, better value than the bose systems..
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

I know this very well, I've got a pretty awesome set up atm but it just won't fit in my room next year...

I'm living in a house too, and the other 5 guys're never in and when they are in, they're also listening to loud music so this is no problem...
