"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.

HB is walking in front of me in the street.

ME: Excuse me.
HB ignores and continues.
ME: Excuse me. You in the pink top.
HB stops and turns around.
ME: Oh ok. Thanks.
I continue and pass the HB so now I am in front of her.
HB: Hey.
I ignore her and continue.
HB: Hey. Wait.
I stop and turn.
HB: What was all that about?
ME: What?
HB: What did you want?
ME: Oh I just wanted to see if your front half was as good as the back half.
I continue on my way.
HB: Well?
ME: Huh?
HB: Was it?
ME: Was what?
HB: Was my front half as good as my back half?
ME: What's your name?
HB: Lisa.
ME (handing over my phone): Hey Lisa. I can't stop right now but if you give me your number I'd love to tell you what I thought of your front half over a drink sometime this week?
HB (typing in her number): Ok.
ME: Cool. Speak later.
HB: Bye.
