"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.

Hey Allen, with too much insult-slinging around especially in the Anything Forum, I think we all need some kind of "fasting" around here. I'm thinking about 40 days without DJ Discussion Forum would do it.

In those forty days, DJs can calm down and reflect or plan their strategies, if you will, in picking up women.

This may sound redundant, but this is maybe the cause of why good members leave or just lurk around and not give any response to many of our topics that are going out of hand. I see veterans who contributed excellent ideas surfacing once in a while maybe when they see topics that is worth their time.
 

"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.

That has nothing to do with my suggestions but anyway I usually wait 3-4 days after getting the phone number and definitely no follow up calls on weekend because I'm supposedly "busy."

Kino is the use of touch, usually minimally, in interaction with the chick.

It was a joke Aztec. I hope you realized The Edge was just being himself: an a$$ :D.

All kidding aside I think it may actually be a good idea. Some people do need a break from this site. And hopefully it'll force more people to get out in the field and practice.
