"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 heard that story telling is a great way for communicating with girls. What are some topics of stories I can tell that are approapiate for high school
girls...and will enjoy.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

I haven't heard that, but rather, being friendly, and asking questions that are more than yes or no questions work much better. It is better to not talk too much, and telling stories can have you doing all the talking, versus being a good listener. no need to do the talking, as girls like talking, especially about themselves.

story telling is good from my experiences, but i let the girls tell me about themselves too. Like stated above, be a good listener...as well as a good speaker.

just tell them about something funny or entertaining that happened. (news, hockey, something that happened on the weekend w/e)

Yah thanx for the help but I know girls like to talk about themselves...who the hell doesnt LOL. But i jus need a little more advice on this topic, so if anyone who views this can add their pointers that would be great.
 

"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.
