"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.

I see this woman several times a week. She will not look at me. Like when I go in to her place she is looking and standing straight ahead and I come up from her side and she just reaches out with my container. She will not even turn towards me. Then when I am paying she will not look at me even when she is giving me change. However when I am filling up the container I see her out of the corner of my eye looking at me. I like pay attention to her and she is telling me how much something was and it was a small fortune and I made a face because I did not think she was looking but I heard her giggle I look up and she was not looking at me so I guess she is looking when I am not.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

She likes you. It's her shy way, but is afraid you may reject her. Be friendly and get her talking. You won't be able to shut her up.
