"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.

An idea.

Well, after reading the whole DJ bible and viewing posts
i have been thinking:
Most of the DJ's when seeing a girl they look and smile to her and hope she will do the same.
I have saw post by someone who said that you should wave to that girl and wait to her to do the same.

I have come up with this idea:
Why won't we wink?
It's not as plain as the look and smile and not wired like the "wave your hand".

From what i have been reading you want to be special, i bet most of the guys don't wink to girls they first met.

What do you think?
 

"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.

Winking used to be the IN thing. Now it is considered to be arrogant and only to be done in passing.
