I texted a few of my friends "merry xmas" of which one of them happened to be a chick I've dated in the past. After she responded enthusiastically, I proceeded to ask her out on a date to a movie I wanted to see. It went well as a movie can go such that there's very little communication. Whatever, I wanted to see that movie and I wasn't gonna go by myself. Anyway, the next night while I was at a club dancing with another girl closely I noticed Girl A standing above the dance floor peering down at us. OOPS! I didn't know she was even at the club beforehand. Anyway, I saw her later that evening standing in front of me so I tugged her arm and said "hey". She didn't turn around and just ignored me. I think she's mad. I wanted to ask her out again though. Do you think this would be a good I idea? Maybe wait a couple weeks? Dunno.
"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.
