"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.

She is pretty shy and when i start a conversation it ends pretty quickly. We both like each other but have not gotten the chance to make a move. I love when she laughs. If anyone could help on how to maintain a better conversation a make her laugh it would be great.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

I read this article once that had tips to keep the conversation going.
(If I remember them correctly some of them went like this)

1. Ask open ended questions that start with What or How
-Whatever you answer she gives you, just choose a link from that sentence and that keep talking about that thread.
2. Concentrate on her likes or herself
-People's favorite topic is them
3. If you're going to ask something common, rephrase it as a statement so then she has to either follow it up or correct it. Either way she's talking. Ex. Instead of "Where are you from?" You can ask, "You look Canadian..."

I hope this helps! Good luck!
