When you order a coffee, drink, sandwich or anything over a counter,
don’t stand with your hands hanging limp by your sides.
This is the body language of guys who don’t want to stand out (aka nice guys).
Instead try this.
Put your hands ON the counter as if you own the place, and talk loudly
and clearly, and with a smile.
You will stand out as a dominant male. People will notice you. And you will
get a better-than-usual response from the hottie that you approach on the
way to your table.
