"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.

I dont know if its because I am a bit depressed, in a dry spell or my conscience kicking in, but when I was at my peak I was emotionally unavailable to a few girls that clearly wanted a relationship, I just wouldnt open up to them at all, given they were young (18) it was not such a bad idea but I feel it was more normal to of given some a chance.
These were girls who were very in to me at the start who felt comfortable with me, pursuing me. I rejected them either out of insecurity or knowing better, they wernt exactly mature.
 

"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.

Been there. Youre just having a negative moment. Go to the gym, eat some bananas, chat to a few hotties you'll feel right as rain ;) :up:
