"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.

Hey,

Anyone ever been? Whats it like for a white guy who does not speak Portugese?

My friend said to go during Carnivale if I want to kiss lots of girls. Whats it like throughout the year vs Carnivale if anyone has been.

Over-rated? Where else do you recommend as party places?
 

"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.

Are you planning to just go on your own or with friends?

A lonely "white" guy who doesn´t speak portuguese can be a target in both good ways and bad ways. Sure, some chicks will dig the "blond blue-eyed gringo", but you should also be carefull in Rio about where you go or you can become another kind of target. Allways check with the ppl in your hotel where you can and can´t go, and the safe ways to go.

Carnaval is during the summer there, and sure its a crazy celebration, depends on what you´re looking for I suppose.
