"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.

I was at this alch assessment class today and I was talking to the teacher, and she was giving me some signals, she kept looking at me more then the others, tryed to keep eye contact but couldn't as long as me, always agreed with what I said and what not.
But at the end when I said my probation officer is a girl she goes..yeah yeah yeah a girl, like she was a bit pissed...What do you guys think that ment
 

"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.

Boring, lame answer: Maybe she's interested and is therefore a little jealous.

Real answer: Who gives a fvck? Honestly, does it matter? No. Proceed in the normal fashion; the extended eye contact was a good sign, so be sure to follow through.

Science behind both answers: There's really no way anybody can give you a definite answer as to what she meant by that. None of us were there, and it really could have meant a myriad of things. Shrug it off and go with answer number 2! :up:

"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.
