"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.

Like today, all Sophomores had lunch together. I didn't really have anywhere to sit. I realized I really had no true friends. I haven't hung out with people since about Feb. Everyone time I try to hook something up, something goes wrong. What should I do?
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

the first thing to do: talk to someone during class. classes are boring and good for slipping in a hi or two. its really easy, ecspecially if youre like me and tend to make comments during class. its not necessary though. see a guy who seems cool? look for something to say. he could be wearing a shirt with new york on it, ask him if he's from there. he mentions to the teacher he didnt have his homework cause its in his car that broke down? ask him about it. or just mention that this class blows or if he needs help on the problems.

body language is a big key. dont be a hunched up, nerdy style. stretch your legs out comfortably, lean back in your chair, keep your chin up, give a smile when people make jokes. you dont have to be joe jockman confidence yet, just dont be closed off and antisocial looking

ask for a name. 'whats your name?' 'jake' (nod) 'im danno'.

now when you see these people at lunch, walk up and say yo man and say what comes to mind from the earlier conversation...man even i'm gonna have to get help for those goddamn pages she gave us for tonight...just light conversation. its not hard, watch seinfeld and you'll eventually be able to get conversation out of anything. literally.

girls is probably more important, but i would work on social proof first just to get a feel for things. you can work on girls anytime, anyways.

Without social proof of some kind, it's damn near impossible to get anywhere in the women department. Social proof first, or you'll find yourself chasing shadows.

Approach girls first, do you realize once your in the lunch room approaching and working the room others are watching what you do so your automatically getting social proofed. Your basically doing boht at the same time so just go and approach stop worrying about social proof.
