"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.

Went sarging in the ritzy shopping districts of my city today. I wasn't in the zone and felt really insecure for some reason. Maybe it's the fact that I was out of my socioeconomic status here. (I'm well off, but this place was filled with RICH down to the "H" type of people giving me funny looks the whole time.)

Anyways, I thought up a few funny ice-breaker lines to use. I did use one in a retail shoppe when looking around for gifts for my family.


Line 1
*Go into a very nice store (Gucci, Armani, Tiffany's etc..)
*Approach the hot retail worker girl

You: "Hi, I'm new in town and just started checking out the shopping center today, I'm looking for a gift for my mother and this store looks like the right place."
HB retail worker: "All right, great! So how much are you looking to spend?"
You: (straight face) "50 cents."

Line 2
*Come out of the store
*Approach nearest HB

You: "Wow have you ever been in there? That store had terrible service!"
Her: "Why do you say that?"
You: "I went in and asked the person working what I could get for 50 cents for my mother for the holidays, and she told me to leave!"

Line 3
*Approach another HB down the street or down the mall

You: "Excuse me, I have a question for you"
Her: "Okay, what?"
You: "I went into the ____ store right over there (points). I was looking for a gift under 50 cents for my (family member) and the worker told me I was too cheap! What do you think?"

Line 4
*Approach HB in a social situation (night club, bar, party etc..)

You: "Excuse me, are you familiar with global warming?"
Her: "Yeah, why?"
You: "Well, some people say it's having a really bad effect on our climate.. But I prefer to melt the ice instead of breaking it. (extend hand for handshake) I'm ____ and you are?"

*If she says "No I don't know what global warming is"

You: "It's this process of greenhouse gasses being trapped within our atmosphere, warming up the planet and melting the polar caps. So how about I melt the ice instead of breaking it. I'm _____, and you are?"

The global warming one is kind of cheesy, but I think the cheesiness will have a comical effect on the girl and it's an original twist thrown on that "break the ice" line we've all heard before.

Enjoy!
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

So what is the connection between global warming melting ice (bad) and you melting ice (bad?)?
melt the ice instead of break the ice. maybe I worded it strangely.
