"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.

Ok, I am trying to come up with some good lines.

Let's say you see a cute girl come out of a store or whatever. You only have a few seconds to get to her. What do you think about this line?

Guy (with a serious face): Excuse me, do you know what time it is?

The girl (thinking you really want the time - she fumbles for her cell phone + it works as a hoop that she has to jump threw): It is 8:30

Guy (with a big grin face): No, it's time to give me your number. I'm doing a scientific research project on girls that shop at Target (or whatever store they walk out of).

Do you think this would work? Is it too silly sounding? I tend to have a pretty tame silly sense of humor - I think it backfires and makes girls think I am a weirdo usually.
 

"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.

One liners never work seem to work. You either have to be extremely attractive or the girl has to be extremely stupid. Girls are used to retards using those lines on them and just blow them off.

If you really only have a few seconds, you could better just be honest with her. "Hey, for some reason I feel the need to have a conversation with you but I really don't have time. So give me your number, I'll call you and we can meet at a coffeeshop around here for a chat.".

Yeah if she isn't a b!tch.
 

"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.

What makes a woman a b!tch? The fact that she rejects you? If you answer the question with a "yes", you really need to start thinking. I know plenty of very pleasant women that wouldn't give their number out like that, and that's not because they're a b!tch but the guy in general looks like an ass.

Or if you're rich as hell or the girl has low self esteem! If they act interested you may catch a wrong # or flake!
