Hi Everyone. What openers are working for everyone these days? I'm heading out tomorrow night and I really want to get my hands dirty. Any suggestions?
"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
What Openers Are Working For Everyone These Days?
- Thread starter Backtothedojo
- Start date
"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

No joke I used that on facebook years ago. She reported me and they deleted my facebook lmao
I wanted to try it because I went through my exs phone and some dude used that as his opening text msg and she ended up sleeping with him. Couldn't believe it.

Same open I always use, comment and joke about something around us, if I get positive IOI, I ask "What's your name?', if she gives me her name and responds with IOI, then I just keep going, playing it by ear. Before departing I ask for her number. If she gives it up and gives HIGH IOI then I'll just ask her out right there. If she just gives me her number I'll call when I feel like it and ask her out.
"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.

Guys, good body language (eye contact!) paired with any situational opener will do the job. Stop thinking so hard.
