"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.

One day last week, I was wearing my Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles t-shirt. I love this t-shirt - I don't care if it's an objective babe-magnet - since I think it's a babe-magnet, it is one. Anyway, I'm wearing my dorky t-shirt, and a this hot chick from my choir who I have been vainly wishing, as opposed to usefully acting, to get to know better says, "I love the TMNT." "Oh, really? I've never seen the movie." "Yeah, they're great, I've got them at my apartment."

"Oh could I "borrow" them?" I put borrow in quotes, since everybody knows I don't give a sh!t about those crappy movies!

I could feel the tension triple. I gulp. Damn, I hate those moments! She said, "yeah, sure." Then it was awkward. Damn.

After practice, I couldn't find her, although I did find the French chick I'm trying to steal away from her LDR.

Must bring this up with the chick again, then must go to her apartment to "pick them up." That would be good.
 

"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.

Why would you not say, "We should watch them together sometime."?
