"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.

Hey everyone, im 22 years old. I would like to know what are some good openers you can use when taking the train such as waiting on the platform and with on the street. I haven't did this in a long time b/c i was focused on other things in my life.

Same with street approaches. The reason I am asking is b/c yesterday I saw this hb that was checking me out in the train station. Like a typical AFC, i didnt talk to her b/c I didnt had anything in my mind and it was blank. Later on i saw her get off the train station and she was walking the same way with me.

Its true what they say that rejected is better than regret b/c yesterday i was upset I didn't do anything but i didnt remember any decent openers. I use to always say hey how its going, whats your name etc but i would have nothing to say right after.

Can some of you fellas give me some good openers to use on the street and on the train whehter inside or waiting on the platform. I only think about these things when i see someone checking me out. I usually have the hey hows it going but I dont have anything to continue the conversation.

Thanks. I am starting to give a lot of effort this week to change my life around.
 

"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.

Situational openers are the best and theyre so natural, they dont sound canned at all IMO, for example you were on the train so you could have asked her where she was headed, or you could have said something funny about the trains being old, or slow, or too crowded, idk man I should really start taking my own advice...im all talk and no walk :(

at the train "Do you know how long it takes to get to x?" After she answers talk about something you've noticed about her, about the place, anything.

Or if you want to be direct, "hey I'm looking for... actually im just looking for an excuse to talk to you" This one is funny and direct, I've seen my wing try it 2x and he left the girls smiling and with their #s.

She: oh yeh..blah blah blah
You: Cool, thanks..you take this train often?
She: Yes/No
You: oh yeh..by the way, nice shoes/bag/etc, brings out the blue/green/hazel, in your eyes<lol>
She: grin/no grin
You: No for real tho, im just sayin, you an aspiring IT girl or smtn? no? you should be!..
She: lol.
You: let me guess..ur Venezuelan<if she has a tan>/Swedish <if she doesnt>?

<most girls love to called "venezuelan" for the acclaimed beauty,tan skin and body shape" or Swedish, because sweds girls are known to be very s3xy, but mix it up, give it a flavour depending on her looks>

She: hahah no, im xxxx
You: no way!well u look it, mabad! anyway whats your name?
She: xxx
You: pleasure meetin u xxx that looks venezuelan but is xxxx!
She: whats yours?/<<silence>>
You: Oh its Slickaz/ so where do you live?
She: blah blah
You: so you play sport? or martial arts?
She: yes blah blah/no
You: well you look like you do, look like you could take a good swing at smbody.
She: lol
You: speaking of takin swings, do You play mini golf?
she: oh yeh!/no
You: Well you look like you'd be good at it but bet i can beat you.
She: hahah no!/Im sure you can
You: Well how about we put it to the test, this weekend
She: Ok!/umm im busy this weekend.
You: Well put your number in my phone and we'll organize a time when i can teach you a lesson..up your game a little bit.

<if she says ok: Set up a time and place, right there, she'll know ur not playin the f00l>

She: >:[ <fake angry face>OK! lets do this! im gonna kick yo a55 <puts number in ur fone>

RING HER PHONE RIGHT THERE. tell her you're going to give her a missed call so she'll have your nnumber. tell her to save it.

Now you got a number and most possibly a date set up.

Simple.

continue normal conversation about whatever. 70% her 30% her chosen topic, this is so you'll have some background on her pros and cons and likes and dislikes.

Other topics:
So do you shop at <expensive shopping mall name> or <thrift shop/not so expensive shopping mall name>
..this will tell you what kind of person she is.

ur goal is to find out on the date is:
If she is good enough to be be with you.
what she likes n dislikes
How honest and true is she?
does she seem like a person that is indecisive, makes rushed decisions or decisions based too much on emotions?
what kind of lifestyle she leads, can you live with it?
what other obstacles will you have in your way?
her family? are they protective?
what her ideal day/date/evening would be
does she cook? enjoy home meals or eating out?
what is she doing career wise now?
does she have any hobbies? what does she do in her free time?
do you still find her attractive after you gather the above info?



Ive used that about 3 times and its worked well for me on:

1. On a train,she gave me her number and set up a date. when i found she had a dude i bounced.

2. At supermarket checkout like, Was having a bad day when i approached but still after talkin a smile out of her after 15 mins, i got a number but NO DATE..set up a date 2 weeks later worked out ok

3. was at an airport departure lounge, easy.
