"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 notice there are a lot of attractive women in supermarkets in my area but am having difficulty thinking of ways to break the ice, much less get any farther in this environment.

I would like to hear guys who have had success in this or similar scenes.

Specifically, how did you get small talk going and from there the rest?

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

I've tried these approaches w/somewhat sucess...walk up to where they are looking at say hamburger helper and ask for some other receipes that may compliment it. Ask any question about cooking with whatever it is they are looking at. Do it with confidence and be matter-of-factly

Good one!

For example, if you pass a HB in the aisle, just say, "Wow. You're making my trip to the grocery store a little less boring today. What do you think about that?"

Now THAT is a line that will ge seeing some air play tonight while I'm shopping! Thanks ESPI!
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

I've tried that same method several times, and it's never worked. I open a lot of women in grocery stores, and I've found the best way to do it is to be
overtly flirtatious. Make your intentions known from the beginning. For example, if you pass a HB in the aisle, just say, "Wow. You're making my trip to the grocery store a little less boring today. What do you think about that?"
Yes, please do that. Please tell her the same thing that 80 other guys have told her that day. Good way to be unique, chief.
