"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 like the openers that say "hey" when you look at their profiles they say "I won't respond to "hey".
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Pretty much all the online openers I've received over the years have been lame, "Hey, what's up?" sort of lines.

But I remember back on my 25th birthday, I was single and sitting reading in some coffee shop like the loser I was, and some chick came up and said, "Are you from New Jersey?" I said, "No, why?" and she said, "Oh, you remind me of someone I used to know there."

Realizing quickly that this was an opener, I said, "Oh, that's interesting, care to have a seat?" and she accepted, sat down, and we dated for a month or so. I ended up dumping her because I wasn't that into her. (Probably why more women don't initiate with guys.)

So yeah that was almost 15 years ago and I totally remember it. Just goes to show how often I've been "picked up" by a girl in public. I can count on one hand the number of times in my life women have initiated conversations in a clear attempt to "open" me. I have no idea whether this is the norm or whether hotter guys get a ton of unsolicited come-ons.
