"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.

Sht, ask me why I prefer trains.


They say electronics mulfunctioned after lightning hit just after take off. Pilots to blame for bad landing, plane hit ground 3 times and chasis broke, fully fueled. They say, although commander was 57 year old test pilot with more than 8000 hours experience. It was a second landing attempt, due to bad weather. No radio communications with tower.

41 died, 37 saved, several are critical.
 

"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.

Air travel is the safest mode of travel by far. Especially in the US. The crashes apply to your emotion, rather than logic, because they are so visual and catastrophic in one event.

Sort of like hurricanes and tornadoes. Hurricanes SEEM to be more deadly but tornadoes kill far more people, albeit not at one time.
