"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.

So far, the only thing that seems to start a convo is asking/commenting on a girl's shirt, bracelet or backpack.

Don't mean to hijack the thread or anything, but do you guys think either of these approaches would work in High School?
Me: Hey, well you seemed lonely over there sitting by yourself, so I came to talk to you. What's your name?
Me: Hey, what's a cute girl like you doin' sitting all alone?

#1 might not be the best choice. You should wait for the girl to ask your name FIRST. Up until then, just mess with her a little. When she asks for your name it's a good sign she's interested.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

I see. Well, while we're on the topic of openers, when should you approach girls during High School in the first place?
