"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's a good way to pick up the cashier, if she's friendly, attractive, smiles, etc. Thought of this myself, but its probably been done before.

When you get your receipt, walk away, look at it, say "Uh, you made a mistake." Usually there is a store number on the receipt, then you say "I didn't want the store number, I wanted your number."
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

That's too lame and cheesy


I would try to just talk to the cashier "How are you today?" etc etc

if she continues more than just i'm good how are you, then she's probably interesting( or needs an emo tampon) just convo and get #

It's even better because you're on a time restraint so you can bail

In my opinion, that's not bad. I may use it lol.
But I think it's better to start up a good convo first, get her laughing, and if she shows interest, then do it.

NO NO NO NO!!! Pickup lines don't work! :nono:

1. Regular conversation > 2.flirting > 3.phone number request
 

"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.

Alright the subject line and post came off as a pickup line but in essence its not what I had intended.

Smile, be charming, flirt, start a small conversation, and then if all goes well, ask for her number, it would have been more of C/F line seeing as I came up with it on the spot, not just a cold, canned pickup.

If anybody actually uses this line successfully, let me know, because I'd like to congratulate you.
