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.
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
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.
Definitely a cool name. I always thought of it as you were were in ultimate kontrol with the ladies.KontrollerX said:Mine is the result of me trying to come up with a catchy name for a videogame forum I was about to register on.
The X part of it was inspired by Malcolm X and the X-men series.
The Kontroller part of it was inspired by the Xbox Controller S since that was the smaller version of the controller for people who didn't want to use the monsterous original controller for the system.
The K at the beginning of the name was inspired by the way Mortal Kombat is spelled with a K and how I personally felt that K and X had a nice look to them that set me apart from the other plethora of online users with an X at the end of their name.
So my name here was unfortunately not created with a DJ meaning behind it but hell I thought it looked cool enough to use here so here it is.
Maybe now the Kontroller part of it can signify gaining or regaining control of one's life and the X stand for the unknown that AFC's wander into when taking the path of DJ leaving their old ways behind.
I think I remember you explaining before, and I said what happens when you hit your target? Will you change your name?Target_100 said:Guess what mine meansAlso, anyone know how to change the user name? I think mine expires soon haha!'

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 always understood that your name was a conscious name, and consciously chosen. It sounds like you could have an entire philosophy to go with the name. Karmic Laws of being a DJ.KarmaSutra said:The actions we hold ourselves accountable and the ramifications of those actions are what predicated me choosing my nom de plume as KarmaSutra.
The name also has a sexual obviousness with it's relativity to the Hindu text
Kama Sutra.
Another nugget of information to stir into the pot is that the KarmaSutra Splash is my favorite flavored cigar from C.A.O.
