"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.

Yea today at a party I went to in my school I was talking to two girls and they told me that they saw me around school and were going to say hi to me, but the fact that I supposedly look pissed off all the time caused them to forget it. I've been told this on a couple occasions by different people, the last time was by a guy @ my summer job. WTF? I'm rarely pissed off so theres got to be something going on with my face that I'm not aware of. How can you look approachable relatively easily besides having a grin on your face 24/7. I'm starting to realize that the way I look is probably impacting my social life negatively and giving people the wrong impression about me.. Even one of my friends referred to me as a mean looking guy once. This is not a good thing.....

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.

I think some of it may be attitude. I used to look "pissed off" a few years ago myself. I think it was just a sulky, unhappy, pessimistic attitude I have. It has a very subtle reflection on your face, but it's remarkable how even a microscopic contraction of a facial muscle changes everything.

I actually have this stupid thing I came up with, but I believe it works. I printed out a sheet of paper that says "SMILE. Today is the best day of your life." That's all. I taped this on the wall right next to my bathroom mirror. I looked at it every morning (big bold letters are kinda hard to miss) and grin at myself in the mirror. It sets the mood for the rest of the day.

Well, nor can I. But if you always walk around...just..whatever, and it's making you look intimidating, maybe you should consider it? Laugh, crack jokes, become enjoyable to be around, yeah? :)
