"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.

Okay this makes me feel pathetic but I have a hour between classes two days a week. I could go to lunch with the hb 8 but she invites along while she's already hanging with some AFC from her physics class.

So I pass on it, opting to eat lunch by myself. I got some teriaki chicken, sit down, and zone out. This HB7.5 comes up to my table (it's a round table with four seats) and says "do you mind if I join you. I hate eating alone."

And that was that. We hit it off. Talk the rest of the hour until I have to get to Organic Chemistry. She walks to class with me and I see the girl who invited me to lunch with her and the AFC. I get her digits and come away looking like a classic DJ by no real skill of my own. It's the type of situation that makes you feel good yet crappy at the same time.

Anyway I posted this for those who want to approach an HB eating. It is such a nonchalant approach--brilliant in its simplicity. I shall have to try this ASAP.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Ummm did I miss something here? You didn't approach, she approached you! And that doesn't happen often, so I fail to see your point.

Anyhow, congrats on the pimping, "orangic chemistry" reminded me of that tommy lee goes to college show.

well what I mean is finding a reason to be hard on yourself and the emasculating aspect of it. This cute little babe who's 5'3" can do this yet I still get past the AFC stop mechanism when I see an HB I want to approach. But of course over all it's a great thing no doubt.

Ahh the sophistication of a younger EGO. Not to belittle your opinion but yesterday we went to lunch and things are going well so far (I'm skeptic with all women). I'd probably be chillin with her right now If I wasn't fighting off a sinus infection. Anyhow I'm no expert but I think most DJs here would respond to such an assumption with "who cares how you come across. It's about breaking the ice and lowering a woman's defenses."

Obvious I'm not suggesting you do this and come on strong. This is more of a "it's about the journey not the destination" philosophy.
 

"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.

It's a nonchalant approach. In fact, it's not even an approach at all. I fail to see what this says besides sometimes things fall into your lap. No offense but I fail to see the insight in this post.

You just basically sat and ate. Then a girl approached you. Then you talked. The end.

The insight is we, more specifically I, should be doing this. It's really that simple. If I work up the nerve I'll field test it next week.

Do what? Wait for a girl to approach you? Or are you going to approach them?

actually, i've used that line a few times, and it does work...said "genuinely" of course. i've gotten to know a few girls with that...and also, dining hall approaches are awesome.

i think the OP was trying to say, use the line..."do you mind if i sit with you? i hate eating alone..." or something along those lines. if she's already eyeing you, it's even easier to grab a seat with her.

come on, i know he was a bit vague, but it wasn't that difficult to get his drift.

This is an approach for the shy guy. The whole point of this forum is to beat the shy guy out of you and shape you into a confident man who goes after what he wants without fear. I guess this approach is ok if you're still in the beginner stages. However, don't rely too much on these types of "excuse approaches" or you won't break out of your shell and conquer your fears of approaching directly.
