"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.

What the hell does THAT have to do with being a jerk? Thats called being sexual. Its not a jerk quality. Sometimes, however, nice guys are afraid to be sexual, but it doesnt mean only jerks do that. Thats ridiculous.
 

"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 love how people respond to an amazing thread like the one the OP posted, with "advice" that pretty much echoes what the OP say, and act like they are actually saying something way more advanced and that the OP is just hitting the tip of the iceberg. In fact, I know the number one rule in writing and communication is, less is more.
The better the writer, the better the philosopher, the less words they need to use to get their point across.

Great post vagrant.
