"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 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.

I've read this post, mulled it over for 3 hours, and still can't figure out WHY IN GOD's NAME YOU WOULD SAY ANYTHING TO YOUR GF ABOUT SAID GIRL!

Use your head man. I've been in an LTR, and know that talking about any other women, especially when yours is 3K miles away is BIG TROUBLE.

That being said, don't say a peep about your co-worker to GF. Don't cheat on her, be honest with her, and give this relationship time. You're probably just lusting for this chick.

She's hot, you're horny, and your GF is a long ways away...normal feelings. You want to **** her brains out, I know I would.

Just take it slow, and if the feelings get stronger and stronger, make a decision.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Oh my Christ.

This sh!t is unreadable. Perhaps you should get a book on grammar and study that for a spell? Using elipses marks to start a different paragraph absolutely kills this sh!t you've written.

Horrible, truly fvcking horrible.

Can you retype this in a way that's more readable? It honestly hurts my eyes just to look at it!
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
