Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

Well I'm going to a fairly large halloween party tomorrow...lots of people from school will be there in costumes, including a girl I like but hardly ever talk to. Parties are usually a good time to approach a girl...so I was thinking I could at this one (even though I'll be somewhat of a gangsta pirate lol). I'm sure everyone will be joking with each other about their costumes and stuff, so the mood will be perfect. Only problem is I still haven't come up with anything I can say without seeming overly obvious, stupid, etc.

Any suggestions for icebreakers or things to say upon this approach?
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

If she is wearing a costume such as a witch, hooker etc....you can say "OMG you have NO spirit....why arent you in costume?"

if i were you, i would just approach her while shes in a group with a few people you know, so that youll have other people to joke around with and be more confident. just an idea, but goodluck with that.

Yeah, I may just go up to her while she's with her friends...ie approaching her small group as opposed to her alone.

smooth, that comment is great...not sure if she'd get it right away though (it took me a sec...maybe I'm slow :p ). Some other ideas I had was just saying "hey so what are you (guys) supposed to be?" or just "hey, how' you doing?"

But something more clever/C&F would be good...I'm not creative at coming up with those...any other ideas?

"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.
