"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.

Going to DC to hang out with a girl this weekend and am looking for a nice place to have dinner. Yes, a little bit for her, but also because I'm treating myself to a vacation. I haven't been to DC since I was 15 or so, and am looking for any recommendations. If I had to lean one way or another, I'd say a classic steak or fish house is probably a better bet then the latest trend. Someplace a bit darker, a bit more cozy. Price really isn't a big issue; I'd like to not max my credit card, but anything price comparable to The Palm or Smith and Wollensky is cool. Yes, I know there is a Palm in DC, but I frequent the ones in Miami and New York and although I am going to reserve a table there, I was looking for a local alternative. Hey, I'm in DC, why not sample something unique?

Thanks guys! Mods, I don't usually do this, but I'm also posting this in the other forums just to get more exposure just this one time.

"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.
