"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 come from a backwards ass hole in the ground where style is a million miles away. However, I always dress my best! Seeing as how school is underway and the work is piled neck high, I need to find a resource for style!!!!!! After reading JT43619s post(sp?) and how he effortlessly banged some faker chick, I am wondering what kind of style he has?

Additionally, if anyone else who is stylish and knows what they are talking about when it comes to dress has any suggestions, Id be happy to know about them.....

"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.

All I can say is to wear clean clothes that FIT your physique -- not too tight, not too lose. If you let a shirt hang out, don't let it drape further than 3 inches or so below the waist. Make sure the shoulders are aligned -- nothing with the shouders half way down your arm. If you wear a tie make sure it's a single windsor knot. Pants should be the right length -- nothing that bunches up at the bottom and nothing too far from the ground -- I prefer a boot cut. I get compliments on my outfits from women AND men -- hey, i'll take a compliement from anyone!

Do a search for "clothing style" in the anything else forum. There should be a couple.

Cool, fashionable, hip, edgey. You can go just slightly trendy, risk blending in with the crowd, but still be comfortable in what you're wearing OR you can peacock to the extreme, push the envelope, get lots of AIs, and risk getting seriously sh ittested every time you open your mouth.

There's goth, metro, punk, industrial, jock, business, and vintage styles. Pick one.
