"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 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.

ok fine u spend your time roming around shoppign malls fitting suits and ill spend that time eating and working out with a wardrobe full of track-pants and wife beaters we'll see who looks better

Have fun wearing your track pants and wife beaters to a gathering.

Guys who have your mindset are truely retarded. Whats wrong about having nice looking fashionable clothes? Maybe your mind is set in tune with the "bad a$s macho man theme" thats good, but it doesnt mean you have to wear track pants and wife beaters all the time because you rather spend time buffing up.

As for your question on who will look better...obviously the man who knows how to dress will be dominant...be rational.
