"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.

Two problems. The first is the approach. Second is the BF problem.

Here's how this should play:

You: "We should get together this week. I'm headed to the burn ward at the hospital for some volunteer work on Wednesday and the Tractor Pull on Thursday. The tractor pull is going to be amazing because Grave Digger is making a comeback! Which one do you want to go to?"
Her: "Oh, sorry. I have a boyfriend."
You: "Well, he's definitely not invited. I bet he's not even a Grave Digger fan and has no feelings for burned children." *Smile* *Pause* "So, Thursday or Wednesday?" *Hold out pen and paper.*

Note: Never ask for the number. Just make it required.
Brilliant
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

interesting reponses so far.

The ones i like the best are:
"when are you guys getting married?"
"that's too bad"
"so?"

And here's a good one i just remembered from sometime in the past, not completely sure how it went but it's something like this:


" Im not asking your bf im asking you."
"oh, but he's not the one im interested in..."
