"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 live in Texas and spring break is going on. I was driving by the beach and 2 girls were taking pictures of each other in bikinis next to a tree so i drive really slow and videotape it on my phone for like 7 seconds as i drive past. The girls were solid 9s so i drive back and decide to get out of my car and ask them if they needed me to use their phone to take double shots of them together. They say they dont need the help. The one girl says to me "is that your black mustang over there" --I reply back with yes, then she asks me if i was videotaping them when i drove past. I deny it and she says im lying. I tell them both that they are beautiful and ask where they are from. They said thanks for the compliment and they say they are from Massachusetts. I was gonna ask for there numbers but decided not to. I tell them ill let them do there thing then i walk away.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

A little. Why would you video record them in the first place, then go back and talk to them? One or the other - lol

That sounds like a stale interaction. The way that read out, it definitely could of gone a lot better.

First, you should of not bothered video recording them. Instead you should of just pulled over and approached them by telling them "Hey, I don't mean to bother you girls but I had to come over here and tell you both are very sexy. My name is _____, Where are you girls from?" From there you could of dove a little into what they were up to shooting a video.... THEN get the phone numbers and invite them to meet up or you pick them up in your Mustang.
 

"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.

Video taping people from your car? Really creepy jeez lmao. Also could possibly get the cops called on you if you get caught doing that in the future.
