"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've been having a problem with being a tad bit too jerk-ish with women. A girl today told me that she's awaits the day that I say something nice to her, because I always appear to have a derogatory comment. (Keep in mind she said it in a some what flirty manner) I then proceeded to try and hand her a pen and paper so she's able to make note of when this miraculous event does occur. For example, a couple days ago a girl came to me complaining about her stomach, I obliged her and made an effort to ask about it later, but when it came up, I froze and threw out another jerky retort.

Her: Yeah, it's okay, I think I'll live.
Me: That's unfortunate.

Where do I draw the line with comments such as these? Would a better approach have been a hug and something a bit more "sensitive"?
 

"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.

Another experiment in C/F gone amok. To add to what Canadianmetalhead said, the key is to be funny not only to yourself but to the woman too!!! If your style of humor is based solely on sarcasm your best bet is to try another approach altogether, constant sarcasm ends up sucking the life out of everyone around you.
