"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.

when i said Different department, this is comparable to me working as a mechanic and this chick working in the pharmacy department.

To sum things up, i would always see this chick walk by.. so one day, i decided to make eye contact. I smiled at her.. she smiles back...i would catch her looking at me and when i do, she would look away and smile. I've always wanted to get her number but didnt want to follow her or go to her department just for that.

Finally yesterday, we ran into each other by chance in the hallway. (we were both in a hurry)

As soon as i walked pass her.. i turn around and says

me: "hey whats up, whats your name?"
hb:
hb: (she turns around and sticks her hand out rightaway)"raquel"
me: "im verysuave, do you sell drugs? im looking for some meth, pcp (she works as a pharmacist)
hb: no.. bla bla bla (smiles)
me: "i hardly get to talk to u. U work in a different department"
hb: "yeah, we work in that small corner of the building bla bla bla"
me: "so, whats your status? married, single, divorced, swinger?"
hb: "ummmmm dating" (she pulls out her phone before i even asked for her number)
me: "okay, i'd like to give you a call sometime. whats your number"
hb: "123 567 7890
me: "so, 7890... and your name again was.. Jen? (i knew it was rachel. Then i gave her that i was just joking look without saying it. She smiles. I leave, then she leaves)
 

"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.
