"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.

So I was out at a party again last night (no drink, little dancing, but I gave out some massages, but that's for an FR ^^ ) and I got chatting with my best female friend in private (I had some serious oneitis for her, but I'm totally secure around her now, no need to game, it's useful to have a trusted female viewpoint)

We chatted about myself and how I've changed (she's noticed, lol) but something interesting came up. How dating, asking girls out and relationships work in different countries.

Now, I was brought up in Greece, and was also educated at an evening school at the American Embassy. So my views on relationships and dates are Greek/American. If I ask a girl out, it's because I'm interested and want to find out more. Doesn't mean we are bf/gf, or i want sex.

However, in the UK, at least in HS, asking someone out has the implication you want to start a relationship. (and this is why i've freaked several girls out) Now, this may just be an abnormality of my school and the girls school we hook up with (like their yr12 dont care about the yr13 guys, even though girls tend to go for older guys), but what do you guys think? Do you have to adapt the way you are a DJ in different lands? (I personally think you do)
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

In secondary school in the UK, it's usually a boy hooks up with a girl at a party and they instantly become boyfriend and girlfriend the next day or week. Cue the "Love you *Girlname*" or "everyday without you is hard for me" facebook and msn screen names. Although, most of the time, people just hook up and then act like nothing happened the next day. Teenage girls don't really do the whole dating lots of people thing, they're more into the exclusive relationship.

My thoughts exactly. I have a 'rep' because I've asked out a few girls from the same social group, and they aren't sure if I'm fvcking with them, or horny for the lot, when in fact I'm just looking to see if i want to increase my interest. (but yes, i am horny for the lot hehe)

I have the added problem of being in a rarefied atmosphere - a grammar school. Crazy parties with lots of making out are hard to come by.

Lol. Yes it does.

Who the hell asks a girl out thinking "wow i bet she has deep and meaningful thoughts." If that's what you wanted, you might as well be hanging out with a dude.

Why do you ask a girl out anyway? You should tell them. "Come to chuck e cheese tonight; we'll play skee ball. No? Well I'll get your sister to go then."

Okay, yes, maybe I do want it, but that's -not- the point of the matter. Desperation for it gets you nowhere. I'm sexual, sure, but I'm not going to freak some poor girl out and make her think I'm some horny pervert.
 

"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.
