"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.

"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.

REPORTING IN: WEEK 1 COMPLETE.

This week was really busy, so I incorporated my hello's/eye contact into my daily routines. Anyways, said hi to several attractive girls, as well as a variety of people, got my 50 in. This week isn't really that hard for me, it's the next two weeks that will test me. Keep it up guys, things are about to get interesting!

Week 1 Complete

I was actually out with some friends for Memorial Day Holiday - had a great time with water sports btw :)

So I did my 50 "Hi" and the eye contacts Tuesday and Wednesday. First day I spent at the mall and just walked around making eye contact with people and saying Hi to the ones that were passing by me. Two girls did put a big smile on their face, but I didn't pursue it :( I did have quite a few people ignore me.

Today I did my Hi's and eye contact around the campus. One thing I noticed is that if I keep strong eye contact with people and there was nobody around them, they would sometime say "Hi" first to me, I guess they thought I knew them. Over 50% of the people I greeted were girls.

One thing that I really got from this exercise was that I didn't have any negative experiences, nobody seemed offended by me staring at them or greeting them, which did boost my confidence.

Can't wait for next assignment!

ThankMan

i've been doing these ever since i landed in australia...people here are more friendly! let me be the unofficial member or something coz now im on a holiday in melbourne.
 

"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.
