"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.

I wish I could control it. They only get sweaty when I'm in situations that I should be nervous. But of course after reading the dj bible and going out more than a few times this year, there's no reason to be! But still, my hands sweat. Even when I'm with my own girl! And you know that sucks. I know it bothers her but it's not a relationship killer. She even tries to dry it off with her own hands (that's not going to work honey).

I'm good at kino, and if I could just stop this problem, I really think I could step my game up. What should I do? Is there some powder in stores that prevent hands from sweating or something?
 

"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.

some people have naturally clammy hands. You were born with it. Its genetics. There's nothing u can do to stop it permanently. Only thing u can do is bring a hankerchief or something to wipe your hands on, unless u dont mind wiping your hands on your pants.

There is actually surgery for sweaty hands, although I'm not sure you would wanna go that far...

Just wipe your hands on your pants before you touch her or whatever. I've got sweaty hands, but I wiped them on my pants and stuff so it was fine.

Only during basketball tournaments do I put powder on my hands so they are dry during my games. But if you like hold hands with your girlfriend when walking, I would suggeest walking elbow in elbow... that's great too!
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

You don't need surgery.

Go to a dermatologist and ask for "Drysol".


I used it in High School, it's a liquid you apply to your hands right before you go to bed, it really does work.. You won't sweat quite as profusely from your palms. I don't use it anymore b/c my palms don't sweat as much as they used to.
