How many of y'all ACTUALLY wash your hands before eating when dining out? I do 100% of the time. If you're out on a date and she doesn't wash their hands before eating, does she lose points?
"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.

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
I think most people don't even bother washing their hands before they eat.Maximus Rex said:
Somebody can have a cold or flu touching the menus and the door handles of the restaurant. I always like clean hands before I eat.
My GF washes her hands or uses hand sanitizer when dining so it isn't a problem.
I've been on dates where girls didn't even bother. After I made a comment they went to wash them.
Today I was at a lunch meeting and some guy finished taking a $hit and walked right out of the restroom stall without washing his hands. He was ordering his food touching his menu when I got back to my table. Somebody might eat with their fingers touching that menu not washing their hands.
Sounds like you don't have very many dates if you are that unobservant.dasein said:

That won't be a problem for you when you take them out for appetizers at a fancy restaurant afterwards for impression.

I would guess that a lot of people get sick because they washed their hands...then touched the faucet, towel dispenser, and door handle on the way out of the bathroom.
"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 don't wash my hands before eating. You ever use the bathroom and don't wash your hands because your lazy, and then get into a position where you have to shake some ones hand? I have several times. As I'm shaking their hand I think to myself "Man if they knew, they wouldn't be shaking my hand" but they don't know, so no one gets hurt.
