"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.

OK here's my situation:

The girl I'm after is hard is a bit of a challenge. She's cute, talented and fun. We've known each other for but just cuz she went the same church as me. I got her email off a friend but she rarely comes online - I'll have to build rapport some other way.

Yesterday I learned some of my friends are getting together for bowling and she'll be coming. The plan now is to get her number so I can set up a date later. Do you guys have any tips or advice I could use? What should I be doing in the group situation?
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Be normal with your friends. Make her have a good time ( dont be a pu$$y) , joke with her etc.. While going you can ask for her nuber if you desire. But dont go to the venue to get her number. Its not a mission you have to accomplish , commando style. Its an event you go to enjoy..
