"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.

I do a bit of magic, for fun... Like 'pick a card, any card'.

When I was learning to fan a deck of cards http://www.magicworld.co.uk/magic-shop/image.php?productid=42 it got me thinking about relationships.

When you fan the deck, it's easier to get it right first go. If you hold the deck too lose, and mess it up, you can try to repair it by sliding cards back. It rarely ends up the same. If you mess up, it's easier to start a fresh.

You can play with cards, fan them perfect, then after a while they get old, things start messing up, cards clump up together. Yeah it can still work, but it's easy to just buy another deck.

Sometimes you buy a pack of cards, they look flash, they may have a nice picture on them, yet they don't feel right, their not fanning nice. Buy a new pack! You wont always get good cards.

I wouldn't take this too serious, or make it black and white. I'm just saying sometimes it's best to start a fresh.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

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.

If there's a girl who you like, but it's messy, always realize that you can just start up again with other women.

You don't have to accept a bad relationship.

You don't have to accept a bad date.

You don't have to accept a bad interaction.

With cards I'll just pop up the magic shop if I don't like the cards I've got. With women I'll either use the internet or go out clubbing.
