"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 do you think of as successful?

Over the summer I developed a plan along with my buddy to determine whether or not we were successful with women. We decided that hooking up with 1 out of every 3 girls you got a number from was a decent rate, likening it to the very good batting average of .333 in baseball.

It's been about 5 months since I held that standard to myself and I am closer to .750, so either my initial idea of success with women was a huge underestimation or I've been getting really lucky.

What do you guys think is a good ratio?
 

"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.

Once you get their number then they are interested - 2 out of 3 is good - 3 out of 4 is better!
 

"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 think the numbers are pretty solid. Where are u hooking up with these girls.? I notice that when I go clubbing out of 7 numbers I might go all the way with one. So I guess my average would be a 143. Which isn't good but isn't terrible either for going all the way. :rockon:

I agree with that. Or at least get a bj or a knobjob.... I guess that would count also. If that counts my average will be slightly higher.
