Yesterday we learned the five magic words that are going to turn your dating life around:

“How’s the day treating you?”

By saying “how’s the day treating you” versus “how are you,” you’re going to begin to see a difference in the types of quality conversations you’re having with women.

Below are the top five places to practice using the five magic words.

1. Your local coffee shop.

I have to admit: this one is my favorite. A coffee shop gives you the best chance at getting into a routine and developing rapport with the same person or persons every day. But what if you don’t drink coffee, you ask? Get something else… tea, a pastry, whatever. It’s not about the coffee - it’s about the conversation.

2. The library

SSSSHHHH!!!! You’re not supposed to talk in the library, right? Wrong. The library works equally well for those in college, graduate school, or those who just go to their local library to pick up a good read. The same staff often handles the check out desk, so there are plenty of people there for you to get to know.

3. The gas station.

If the coffee shop is my favorite, the gas station gets the people’s choice award. Are you nervous? Does the hottie at the coffee shop intimidate you? Don’t worry - take the pressure off by doing the following. Find a busy gas station in a questionable part of town. Park your car. Lock it. Go in to “pre pay.” Upon walking in, look around at the questionable “clientele” frequenting the gas station. Immediately stop feeling nervous and feel better about yourself. Ask the attendant, “How’s the day treating you?” Pay for your gas. Pump the gas. Leave. Repeat a few days later. — You’ll be upgrading your experience to the coffee shop in no time.

4. A hotel bar.

A whole book could be written on the magic of hotel bars, but for your purposes, they provide the perfect setting to practice getting over the five-magic-word jitters. If you’re a guy sitting at a regular bar alone, you can often feel nervous or awkward out of the sheer fact you’re by yourself at the bar. You needn’t feel this way at a hotel bar, as people often sit alone because they’re traveling for business by themselves, and the bartender usually expects small talk to be made. This provides you great opportunity to see how the day is treating the bartender, getting in some valuable practice.

5. The gym.

Your health is important. Big time. Not everyone is going to look like a body builder or an Olympic swimmer, but we should all be doing something to stay fit. So if you’re not already going to the gym, you should consider picking up a membership. Plus, it gives you multiple opportunities to use your five words on the girl at the front desk, the trainer that you pass in the hall, and the guy taking your towel as you leave. You’ll quickly become “the nice guy at the gym,” and if you keep working out, you could be “the hot guy at the gym.” Think about it. :-)

Another hint is to always think as if you’re PRACTICING. Every time you say “How’s the day treating you,” it’s just practice. Tell yourself it doesn’t count. It’s just practice. This type of mental focus and attitude helps take the pressure off and swings your nerves in your favor.

And since you’re just practicing, don’t limit yourself to women! You can ask guys “how’s the day treating you,” and I bet you’ll feel 10x less nervous. The idea is to just keep saying it over and over and over again and getting into a routine so that when you finally do come across someone you’re really attracted to you won’t miss a beat.
