"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.

Greetings,

I've set a small goal for myself and that was over the weekend I wanted to approach 10 girls. Granted, this is very modest, but I also wanted to approach girls of quality and try to find some that I had a remote interest in.

Anyways, I came across a good opener by accident, which works very well (I used it to get 7 approaches Saturday with 1 close). I started drinking a few beers with my friends and there was a guy in the bar wearing a crazy outfit (think outlandish like cowboy chaps) and he obviously did not belong within the culture here. An out of towner easily.

Anyways, I went by girls and jokingly asked "hey, have you seen my brother?" and they would reply "who is your brother?" and I'd say "you know, the guy with the chaps on, you can't miss him". 8/10 times this was greeted with a laugh, which in my opinion, is very solid as it is non confrontational and puts them at ease immediately and shows that you have a sense of humor.

So, if you find someone extremely out of place, it may be something you can use. Don't be malicious by picking on someone, but if there's someone there who is very outgoing who is a little off, you can light heartily use it as an opener.

Good luck,
Sal
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

No, he wasn't my friend - I didn't even know him. You tell girls that the perfect stranger are your kin. I'm sorry for the lack of clarification, but the point is to play the whole thing off as a joke.
