"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.

What do you do when the new love interest is in a class full of hyper class clowns who are funnier than you and get attention? There's one in particular who always totes a guitar around and I can't do that. Am I basically screwed but not the way I wanted? The only way to outdo them is with caffeine but I don't want to be dependent on it.
 

"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.

Since when does the extreme hyper and annoying kids get girls? did i miss something?

Be your own person, be laid-back or be an annoying ass clown, but you dont have to resort to using caffeine because you think it will get you ahead, it wont.

The girl is probably laughing at that guy because he is such an idiot. Thats why alot of people would laugh.

So just relax, and talk to the girl the way YOU would, not the hyper ADD kids, or the over-caffeinated guitar-totin wannabes

Thats what i would do at least

I just give girls my full attention, and make them only care about me. Does she sit near you? Here's what I usually do:

-I switch their books, so when they open it, and notice it's mine, they have to ask for it back.
-When they answer all the questions in one day, and don't answer one. Say in a jerky attitude "I'm surprised you don't have a comment on that one."
-Stare at her, and then when she notices continue staring, and when she looks down and looks back up, keep staring until she says "Quit it." 3 times or she sounds annoyed.


And go from there. Stuff like that just naturally comes to my head after I did it for a while.


Then when she wants your attention, just go one day on her attn, and then the next day off attn. Make her wonder about you.


Just suggestions.

She passes notes every now and then its just it seems that you have to be "the prize" but how can you be it when they have the attention?

Honestly... some ******* making a specticle is a GIFT. Its the perfect approach, an awsome startup topic, and its low energy.

"I cant believe it... hes playing that guitar AGAIN! I hear he learned it from his grandma!"
"really?"
"Thats the rumor. Do you play an instrament?"

"What a cute kid <motion to loud *******>"
"<laughs> yeah"
"Just imagine how boooring <math class> would be without <hisname> goin wild"
"hehe, yeah"
"Personally, I only go wild on weekends... Ive got to pace myself <smile> Hey, how did you spend last weekend, did you go to that huge party in <other suburb>?"

The possibilities are endless.
