"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.

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.

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

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..."
