"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.

What would happen to my body if i eat fast food once a day for two months? (i love carl's jr and i try to gain weight up to 160 .. i'm 5'9 and 150 pounds). Normal home made food doesn't seem to work, and i'm too lazy to cook. Is this a good idea ?
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

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.

With an appropriate workout/cardio regime then it won't hurt you (assuming your metabolism isn't so ****ty that you get fat just by looking at a McDs), but it's far from an optimum way to get extra calories in.

There's a host of better options: nut butters, olive/flax oil in your protein drinks, whole milk by the gallon, hell, bigger portions of home cooking..

Oh, and as for not wanting to cook, I say get off your lazy ass. Gaining quality weight isn't easy, you have to work for it. And I've just given you several options.
