"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.

BTW, 1 Billion people tuned in to watch the last Super Bowl, which is 1/5th of the world's population, so I guess it's not just popular in America.
Yeah double that figure and you've got the number of fans who saw the 2006 Football world Cup Final.

More than 2 Billion viewers will also watch the 2011 Cricket World Cup-

Just admit it America football is sh*te.

And by the way its not called soccer its called football. We invented the game and the language, and under the English language football refers to the global game of 11 v 11 who kick a circular ball at each other goal.

Your game is 'American Football' not football as the rest of the world know it.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

G your tough!

And Mexico beat off the Spanish did they not? The Huns ravaged the Romans.

Im from Australia, and I find the American accent annoying, especially from the South.

Anyone can twist anything around, hence why there are professional 'spin doctors'.

But facts are facts, and futbal (soccer), whatever you want to call it, is without doubt, the biggest spectacle in the world. If its puzzy because you say it is, then I think I might stop playing it!! Yeah. I boxed for several years, very competitively, I have played futbal for several years also, while Boxing is without doubt far more physically taxing, I appreciate the skills from futbal just as much.
 

"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.
