"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

anyone know any good opens for a gym setting? A lot of cute girls go work out, yet I don't know any good opens for this situation. I go twice a week and there's no doubt that I'll see someone I like. Generally I don't have a problem walking up and saying something, but if they're in the middle of running on the tredmill or situps I don't like to disrupt them. I was thinking maybe when they are stretching?

Have any experiences that you can share or any good opener?
 

"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.

I find it really easy to pull girls into a casual conversation I'm having with my workout buddy. Usually, just asking a sideways question in a friendly way to a girl that happens to be working out near you works fine. The girls that have headphones on are rather fun to open up.

There's a PU101 routine that involves just mouthing words at a girl, pointing to your own ear until she takes the headphones out. You then ask her, "Do those work?"...."I mean, do those headphones really keep people from talking to you?" A nice joking manner helps a lot. You can segway into talking about how you were looking for an mp3 player because people kept bothering you while you were working out. If you still have a girl hooked after that, it's just a matter of smooth talking.

Oh! cool open :D I'll give it a try. Normally girls do have headphones. What happens though if they have none?

And sometimes when im running, there are other tredmills open all around but they pick the one next to me, would this be an IOI? what would be a cleaver open? obviously im running and cannot say much x_x

"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.

some girls with headphones do want to get approached, it is not an absolute rule.

if they were open to meeting guys I don't think they would wear the headphones, sounds like a clear no-no

anyway, don't your gyms play music anyway?? why would a girl need headphones?

same reason why everyone else has headphones on...they want to hear their own music and they want it louder so they can get in the zone.

Yes but funny how most girls wear them a lot of the time whereas the guys don't? That's a major clue right there lol.
