"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.

Ok guys, I've been attempting to talk to as many people as possible and as often suggested, I'm starting to talk to sales people, shopkeeper etc.

So the other day I was buying a pair of shoes. I asked "Do you have half a size bigger" and the girl responded "uh...no we don't".

What's funny to say?

You can skip the expensive cars, the fancy clothes, and the endless gym selfies. Completely unnecessary.

why the fvck would you want to make a funny remark? It's not like it's the store clerk's fault they have no half sizes.

I just sounds like you're trying too hard

D'Anconia, that was hillarious!!

Why are you asking for lines for such a specific situation? How many times is a hot girl ever going to tell you that they don't have your size shoe? Maybe a few times in your entire life?

It's called developing a sense of humor...
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

while i am not a hot girl I do work in a shoe store (Foot Locker) and can tell you that for the most part there is nothing funny that you can say/do when dealing with shoes. Usually when someone tries to make a joke it's at the expense of a shoe I, or some one I know likes.

I can't speak for all shoes sellspeople but as far as I am concerned the job is not alot of fun so if you can come in and be entertaining in the slightest you seem about 10x more interesting than you really are, which works in your favor. You don't have to be funny, just be entertaining and you will get attention from the people worth talking too. If someone gets pissed then u dont even wanna be dealing with them.


Good luck in the future.

lol some of you need to chill out. Of course it's not the clerk's fault they have no half-sizes.

But as mentioned, I have began speaking to as many people as possible, being funny, interesting and all.

Now of course I probably wouldn't meet another girl who tells me they don't sell half-size shoes, but.....as mentioned, I AM trying to develop a sense of humour and am doing fine. Except I couldn't think of anything funny or whatever to say in this situation.
