"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.

Hey guys hows it going?

Just so you know, to all of you out there before I ask this question I'd like to first say that since I've been reading from this site I have actually started making big time improvement. I was really depressed before I stumbled upon here, and now I'm very social. In fact, I've actually been doing sort of a self improvement program of my own which I haven't been posting but I'm at the point where I can literally approach anyone, and not only that but have a great flowing conversation as well. Next week I'm looking to be able to get numbers when it goes well too, I messed that up a bit last night but still trust me I'm doing a lot better.

Anyways enough of my rant on that. My big question is on what I call "The Kiss of Death". I'd like to say I joined the site initially because I'm a really short guy (basically 5 ft tall) so my confidence sucked. Its gotten a lot better since I realized that girls aren't actually as important as people make them out to be, its just a part of being a man like owning a house and such.

But anyways, as a short guy I notice that a lot of times if I'm being funny and things are going well, I'll get a kiss on the cheek from girls eventually over the course of the night or if I've seen them around a couple of times. Now, since I'm short I realize that sometimes I'm overly sensitive to this fact, but is that an indicator to move on because their subconsciously saying that they aren't interested? I mean if a girl is into a guy she'll wrap her arms around him and stuff but I don't know. Or am I just overthinking?

By the way thanks for the help so far guys!
 

"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.

Just to clarify my thinking by the way, I feel like if a girl kisses you on the cheek she could be telling you she thinks you're "cute" like a little brother, not being friendly and giving IOI's. Any thoughts?

I think if a girl didn't like you she would not even dream of kissing you on the cheek. She wouldn't even want to be near you. If a girl is touching you in any way, it's a sign of interest.

There's only one way to find out if they are really interested in you or not, and that is to ask for the phone number. If she gives it up without hesitation, you're good to go, but if she makes an excuse, then she's not interested.

Simple.

Chicks dig funny guys. It's not a kiss of death, just an affectionate "thank you" for making her laugh. Yep, there is a little bit of "awww he's cute" mixed in with it, but hell, it's definately a step in the right direction, so keep it up with the humor angle, it often works. Besides that it also allows you to be you.
