"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.

Today was at quiznos and the girl making my sandwich was smoking.
We mad eye contact several times even had very small talk.
I was going to ask for a number but froze and did not, I'm out of a 5 year relationship,
So getting back out there. Should I go back in with the confidence I know I have with some smooth talk and ask for it, or just let it be a lesson learned?
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

The lesson learned is that you don't always get a second chance. You can go in a second time but she probably wont be there, just make sure you're actually buying something not going JUST for her.

Here's a story: I went to Jack In The Box for lunch one day. Made eye contact with this hb8.5 MULTIPLE times. Now i was stuffing my face with tacos and such so It didn't really occur to me until AFTER we left.
I have not gotten a second chance since, but I now make sure I take chances the first time the opportunity arises.

You need to act THEN not later because there might not be a later.

"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.

But didn't hit tell I was driving away.
