"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Saying "hi" alwasy works, but you also can use the "I wanted to find out what you were like"
Your mind is in the wrong FRAME, You have to realize its not about a LINE, your not trying to do the impossible, all your doing is having a conversation with a woman (much like you would with your sister, aunt whoever) the only thing you should internally think is… “do I want to continue this further, is she worth MY time”
Like that one about the alphas on an island that you have also posted on other forums all together.. wtf man?
Now you are asking for a default line? You sound like a robot, infact i think u might just be some kind of bot. A girly afc type bot.
Come on man get a new patch or something and upgrade your self.
"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

If you have nothing to say, don't speak.
If you find you ALWAYS end up having nothing to say, you need to develop some social skills. "Small talk" isn't always something that comes naturally...it's an acquired skill, even if it IS filler.
Any kind of generic, catch-all default line is instantly recognizable as just that.

"Hi," and it's many MANY variations are definetly the way to go though... I don't know why anyone would adamantly oppose a standard greeting. It shows friendliness, and a desire to converse - that's pretty much what you want, yeah?
