"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 just watch the Tim Flawless Natural method and im just using some of his openers. I notice that when he does these openers he shakes the girls hand and i wanted to know if its okay to do that in high school because in my school boys don't usually shake their hand. I know im making this a big deal but i just dont want the girl to get weirded out. Whats your intake on this ??
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Yes just do it

Unless she's clearly an uncivilized hoodrat then give her one of those 4-step gangsta handshakes

A handshake is good in highschool... especially since it's so uncommon there. It will help make you stick out in her mind.

You in high school, you shouldn't be watching Tim's Flawless Natural!

Well ok ok I've seen it, and Transformations, and The Blueprint... But do as I say not as I do, right. :p

Your falling into the trap of overanalysing. Really people shouldn't be asking questions about stuff like this. But ok if you know what your doing and you STILL legitimately want to know, thats ok.

It's fine. Try it. Use your own experiance to find out. Everyone reccomends high fives and girls can even get weirded out by that, at least at first untill they see that you are cool with it. It wont weird the girl out unless you feel weird doing it. Handshakes are a great way to get kino in early, for girls it's more like a hand hold then an actual shake.

Crazy handshakes that you make up are fun and a good tool as well.
 

"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.

I usually only do handshakes with a girl when I first meet them, the normal kind. Only other time I use them is when I want to track my progress on how I'm doing with a specific woman with a high five.

i learnt in a business networking class that only in a business context is handshaking (between a guy and a gal) is essential..
in the social context, the guy nv offers. only the gal does.

u dun wanna freak the gal out with a handshake esp if she's nt comfy with u or don't know u.

wonder what is the take of others here.
