"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.

Post your evesdropping on girl-talk (myspace, in person, tape recorder, youtube):

"Yeah he is pretty much the sweetest. :) Boys can DEFINITELY take the hint there!! I agree, although there are a certain few (I think you know who I mean) that are okay in my book too ;)"

It's best to get them when they're not looking, when they don't know they're being recorded, in their natural environment of "just between you and me, girl...my boyfriend [blank]" or "that guy [blank]" "He treats me bad" or "He's so sweet" "I don't like him" "He's mean" "He's smart" "Oh, he's so gorgeous" "God, what a dog..." "I can't believe he did that to you?!"

BE a SPY to their thought processes...

"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.

people, watch the video on this link, named "trouble with girls"...

I'm amazed 16 year old girls know about all that alpha-beta male stuff. At that age i didnt eevn have basic social skills (just 4-5 yrs ago). my friends and I were too busy arm wrestling at lunch, dissing each other with yo mama jokes, and perfecting our RPG gaming skills of Asherons Call... WOW kids grow fast these days!

Dude, I saw that video too. That blew my mind. These girls are pretty intelligent, even though it sounded like "alpha male" was a replacement for "jerk" and vice versa in the context they were using it. They basically told the guy to lower his standards, lol.

Why do these girls on the phone, myspace, whatever address each other as "Hey love,..." Does this mean they're gay or is it just harmless affection for one another? Not that I care, just wondering. I mean, I don't call up my boys and leave a message, "Hey love, blah blah blah..."

Women are sooo touchy-feely. Kinda makes you sick, doesn't it?

Why are you amazed? This is 2008 not 1950.
