"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.

It seems that all of the radio stations are touting the day before Thanksgiving as "THE" party night of the year, bigger than Halloween and New Years. Is it true?

Can't remember specifics from past years, but it DOES seem to be getting bigger every year.

Got a call last week from a buddy who is coming downtown (where I live) and is bringing a bunch of people, including a chick he wants me to meet. We'll see how that goes.....

Then today I get a call from my AW friend who says she's coming out and bringing a bunch of other women with her, and they want to stop by my place before we go out. Looks like I have been designated as the party host for the evening. Sounds like things might get interesting!

Is it the same all over the U.S.? Does everyone get buckwild tomorrow night?
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

I'd never been told before a few years ago, but apparently the night before thanksgiving is the busiest bar night of the year.

This is a marketing schtick that's been going on for awhile now. There does seem to be some merit to it though. If you're going to go get trashed at the bars Thanksgiving does make for the ideal recovery day. If you're visiting family out of town or returning to your hometown it's something to do on a virtual Friday night.

You gotta be kidding me...i can remember even 4 years ago..Thanksgiviing Eve, having to wait 1hour and 1/2 just to get into the same club i use to go to on a regular basis because of it being so busy.

now moving forward 4 years i dont entertain myself quite the same way, however a crew of about 15 people get together every year and spend our night drinking to oblivian so we can eat our turkey tomorrow with the stinch of good ol' michael collins whiskey and shots of tarantula!

what are everyones plans for thanksgiving eve??

me and my crew our heading to our downtown bar district .
 

"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 have an annual football game with some guys I used to go to school with. Then stopping by some karaoke then going to TGIF to celebrate a friends Bday.

I'd say its a really big party night because so many people are all going back home, where they grew up etc, and wanting to meet up with friends. At least thats how it seems in my case

I think Americans feel they don't have enough drinking holidays to call their own.

I mean, we've borrowed St Paddys day and Cinco de Mayo, and everyone celebrates New Years, so we're kind of left with just Halloween. But now there's Thanksgiving Eve!

Now I gotta go buy cups and ice and vodka and mixers.....

Playing party host gets tiring

It's been that way for me since I was 21. I am now 37. Everyone comes home from college and sees their old friends. It has always been my favorite night out, even more so than New Year's. If you have a favorite bar, get there early.

Be safe!

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

I always go out on the night before Thanksgiving. The problem is I have trouble eating with a hangover.
