"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.

Following an approach I did on the train today, I 'accidently' figured out how to open girls who are wearing headphones.

It has been said by certain people in the community that you need a fancy line or opener to tackle this scenario. Lance Mason suggested some ideas....well I'm here to tell you that you DON'T need anything fancy here...

All you need to do is say your opener (any opener will do) as normal, but make sure you look directly at her (and make it obvious with your body language) while you say your opener. This will make it obvious to her that you're talking to her. Once she's realised you're talking to HER, in most cases the girl will simply take off her headphones and you can repeat your opener and carry on the sarge as you would any other girl....

Absolutely simple! This is no longer a barrier!
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

if the girl is nice and polite, she will remove her headphones. Honestly when I know the guy is trying to speak to me, I avoid eye contact and looking directly at him.

Some times I'm not even listening to anything and the headphones are on, and I can hear everything that the guy is saying. But I chose to ignore him and walk away.

act like you are mouthing something to her, and when she takes her earphones off to her you, keep mouthing words but not actually ennuciating them. Then give 'em a smile. If they are playful you can get an opening from that
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Just say how it is. You're not sure, you discovered something, it's not tested beyoung that one yet.
