"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.

I was watching the big special about Star Wars on the History Channel (very good, BTW.) The journalist Linda Ellerbe said that the most romantic line she had every heard in any movie was the one that SoSuave has always used a prime example of DJ.

Leia: "I love you"

Han: "I know"

Linda Ellerbe: "At that point, every woman who had ever loved a bad boy said to herself, 'bless my heart' "

It was great hearing a *woman* validate that a DJ attitude is preferable.
