"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.

Here it is plain and simple..

I sent an email to a girl asking for her number because school's over and that was the only way to contact her.
We've talked before and i am 95% sure she was interested. The only thing is..i took too long overanalyzing everything and by the time i decided to ask her out somewhere..another guy asked her out.
Assumming she gives me her number, i will then talk to her and then what?

Should i ask her if she wants to hang out regardless of her having a bf..after talking to her for a week or so?
Should i keep communication with her at a minimum until she's single?

Also, is popularity a major factor? I was a relatively quiet guy my freshman and sophomore years but i am going to try and be more social this year. When i hear about her hanging out with all these popular people i get slightly discouraged. The thing is..i know nothing bad will happen if she says no. i am pretty sure she wouldn't tell anyone but her best friend because no one else would care.

Thanks =)
 

"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 has a boyfriend? Keep in contact with her if you want but find someone else.
