"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.

do you think moving your hand away at the last second would be funny, childish, or would it depend on the girl?
 

"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.

lol honestly, was this needed?
If you're giving a high five you're already being pretty childish with a funny tone[thats how i give em atleast,as a joke] so i bet if you're joking around like that with ehr already, she'd view it as funny.

Id say it would be classed as funny but its hardly going to make any differance anyway. I can imagine 2 girls haiving a conversation

Girl 1: But he was perfect for you he was funny, intellegent, all other DJ traits why did you dump him?
Girl 2: He went to give me a high five and pulled his hand away at last second.
Girl 1: Now I understand
:D

Why would you pull away?

lol, man... if you are real new to this (and it seems so) you should know that pulling away is detracting from your kino. Usually I start with something a little more responsive but for a beginner, this is where you start. Why pull away?
 

"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.

1. If you give a girl a high five, and you're over the age of 12 or 13, you'll look like an idiot.

2. Grow up.

Who needs to grow up? The person who asked a question, or the person who got their neck out of joint about it on the internet?

The person that gives "high fives" to women needs to grow up. Need more clarifying? You need to grow up.
