"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.

"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.

Well i don't know how good you're wit is, but if it's fairly sharp, try this. Come to class about 5 min late. This way she'd presumably already be sitting with an empty next to her considering it's a lecture hall.

DON'T distract her from the lecture, but if have something genuinely (sp?) witty and funny to say, say it to her. You two should be the only ones able to hear it and that will be easy because of the large class size. Keep her smiling and an after class approach is mind-numbingly simple.

If you're not witty, or you're lacking a real pair, poke her on facebook. If she pokes you back, go for it. Hell, go for it anyway.

Last resort, go to the gym and work on your b-ball game. Then, join the Houston Rockets!

Yes, I know, please stop showering me with your praise......nah, you can go ahead!
