"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.

There's a freshman formal tomorrow and you don't really have to bring a date, most aren't. Most of the people I know are just going with good friends for dates.

This girl I'm interested in....I've talked to her a few times, good standing with her. Would it be bad to ask her if she would like to be my date to this thing?
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

You: "I'm going to the Freshman formal. You should come with me."

Answer Options:

Option 1.
Her: "No, I can't, I'm going with Charles! Isn't he dreeeeamy?"

-doh!- Recover:

You: "Oh, no, not as a date. I'm going with Gina Gosdoun and Susie Suchsalot. I meant did you want to drive there with us?"

Option 2.
Her: "Oh! Well, sure!"

-whoot!-

You: "Great. I'll pick you up at 7. Do you want to go to the hotel and sit in the hot-tub afterwards, or just go straight to my place?"
Her: "Uh... I mean... maybe... uh... Isn't it a little early to be hot-tubbing with each other?"
You: "Oh, I totally agree. My place it is. See you at 7!"
Her: "But..."

just go for it. dont sit around and just think about it, cause all your gonna end up doing is making yourself nervous. goodluck with that.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
