"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.

Fellas,

Met this 24 yr old girl at a networking event last week. I was there solo as Was she. She came up to me and introduced herself while I was at the open bar. Young,cute, and good conversation so I decided to go for the same night date. After some rapport, I said “let’s get outta here and go get a drink. I know another place with dancing and a band”.

Got to talking later that night and it came up that she was a virgin and saving herself for marriage. Even has a promise ring To herself she wears on her ring finger. Anyway, didn’t let it phase me. There was touching, close dancing, etc but I didn’t push it and dropped her off at her hotel. She texted later that night and seemed to fish a bit for an invite. Told her to come back over but it fizzled out.
Anyway, I’m pretty sure if I ask her out again she’s into it, but damn I don’t know if I’m ready for all the effort to try and get some from her.

she could be lying too of course
 

"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.

Doesn't seem like she's doing a very good job. My advice: tell her that you'll do her in the mouth and then in the ass (in that order) and that way she'll still be a virgin. That way she'll keep her sacred "innocence" for the naive virgin lover she ends up marrying and his wallet will be the first to jizz into her purse.

Man, there are plenty of hoes out there, don't take advantage of this girl...karma and all that.
If she's lying and/or is a born-again virgin, do you really want to deal with such a blatant liar/nutcase?

You’re both right. Nothing can be determined without a second date. I’ll play it a bit aggressive and get her to show her hand.

texted her a couple days later with a little banter. She said she was recovering from the flu - before I even asked her out again. But I still said rest up I wanna take you out next week. She sent some dumb meme back. Classic…

leaving this one unless she shows interest after “she gets better”
 

"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.
