"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.

So, for the last few months, I decided I'd start enjoying the single life and do every single thing that I want to do, before I become one of those old men who look back on life and says: I wish I would have done X activity...

I've recently done just about anything imaginable that I've never done before, from horseback riding, to hitting up Madison Square Garden for a Knicks game, to seeing the Empire State Building, to planning trips to both Atlantic City and Washington D.C. amongst many other things that I have planned.

But, I never WROTE down a list, so, I'd like some help from the SoSuave community. Hopefully at least 2 of you will respond. :p

I want to know of things you want to do that you've never done before, or even about experiences of stuff you DID do that you feel accomplished for doing.

One thing I definitely have up soon is seeing Medieval Times (always wanted to go, I don't care), paintball, and sky-diving.
 

"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.

Funnest time I ever had? Went to Dublin Ireland with a buddy. Spent a few days there seeing the sights, pub crawlin, etc. Then flew from Dublin to Scotland where we stayed in some B&B's and toured all the single malt distilleries in the Highlands. Even toured the Guinness factory in Dublin. Will never forget that trip. Great time.

I would love to go to creamfields, or WMC in miami this year.
 

"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.

If you boys are really straight you should just think one word - Ukraine. You will know why after a week there.

I'd love to get all my buddies, pitch in a bunch of money, and hire strippers on a party barge, preferably during a football Saturday starting at noon, and letting the party go on all day and get friggin' insane that night. Plenty of booze, food and whatever else your heart may desire. I'm talking 2 or 3 girls per guy. Just an insane time.

Not exactly in line with my religion, but we all have sinned.
