"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.

Little rant: Me, my friend, and my friend's gf go this bar. She orders me a shot at the bar since she hasn't seen me in while lol. My friend steals gf's shot, so she orders three more apparently. I jokingly act like I'm going to take it, but I'm really not lol. This random guy comes up to me and says, "If you steal her drink than I'm gonna fight your a$$!" My reply is, "so you are willing to risk your life for some ***** you are not guaranteed to **** tonight huh." I tell him I'm going to straight gore his ass out if he tries to lay a finger on me. Off course this ******** runs away and kills my mood for the night. **** this!!!
 

"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.

Good response OP. Thats always a tough scenario you handled it well.

Could have added "Looks like the white knight forgot his sword. Closest I have is this straw " and flick the straw at his pant leg or shoe..
