"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.

No biggy of a sitaution but I still like to share it with you...

Yesterday as I was getting my key from receptionist for gym locker, a girl (15-18) asked my name which I did.

There were 4 ppl: Receptionist (standing in front of me, doh), the girl (on my right side), her friend who didn't talk (girl) and me.

maby tell me what I could have done instead:

Me: My name is ...
She: My name's Monica
Monica to Receptionist: Why didn't you write his name down?
[I know... I know... but I don't believe she did it only because she was worried about the paper not being filled...]
Me: [ I gave my hand and said ] "Let's shake hands."
Monika: [shakes hand weakly, so Do I]
Me: [taking my wallet to give my gympass to receptionist and asking Monica] "How old are you? [realising my mistake and correcting] "I mean, how young are you?"
[All looking more alive]
Monica: [saying nicely] You never should ask woman her weight or age?
[at this point the conversation was going @ the wrong direction but I didn't know where to lead it either...]
Me: Sure I can. I mean If I'm interested asking about that.
Monica: You'll not get answer from me.
[starting to feel powerless... read not knowing what to do]
Me: I will! [ not believeing it myself... how the hell do I? ]
Monica: I don't think so...
Me: [ not really remembering the first part of my answer ] ... I'll go to gym now...

In the gym I thought that when I'd finish... I'll go to the girl and ask if she had a minute... if so, then I'd ask if she believes in mind reading... I'd ask her to think number from 1 to 10 and try to read her mind (read guess). If I'd answer correctyl I'd get her age... which I allready know because I can read minds :p and If not, It would have been fun anyways...

But she had left... so did I...

So, your opinnion?
 

"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.

Good Luck.

Is this a college gym?

If she looks 18 or older, then don't ask her age. If anything, ask what bars she likes to go out to, if she's underage she's gonna tell you she doesn't go to bars, or doesn't drink.

Just use your judgement, although these days there are some girls who look alot older then they should.
