"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'm sure we all have different tastes, but I want to see what the consensus is around here. I'll post random pics, some from people I know, other from wherever.

HB 6-7 in my book, only because I know her in real life and she's not as hot.

6 at most. Something about her smile turns me off.

A famous pianist, to check your refined taste in women, lol.

This is it for now, I guess. Just to calibrate myself.

1st: In the pic she looks as a 6,5 to me, but she could even be an 8 (but I have a thing for blondies).

2nd: She doesn't look really cute to me, I'd give her a 5, I don't like her smile either.

3rd: Too old and not my type at all - 4,5.

First one is a 4. Second one would be hot were it not for those weird eyebrows. Last one does not look like a woman.
 

"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.

1. You are an HB9;)
2. To me she's not an HB9 at all. I'd rate her 5 or so.
3. HB7
4. Now, we're talking about Hot Babes, she's a 8.5
5. She looks bad in the pic, but she could easily be a HB8
6. She's better than the first one, but nothing more than 5.5

That girl HB9 is an 8... it's a bad picture! She's ****in gorgeous and every guy wants her. I'll get more pics of her when I feel like it.

I'm serious.

Ah, I'm starting to see the light. Yes, AC/DC, you are the master, but how exactly did you get around to banging all those b*tches? =)

Whoever called Martha Argerich a man must be shot. Better pic below

She's old NOW, but back when she was in her twenties (around 40 years ago, lol), she was so beautiful, jeez. And a piano master too.

Anyway, my first pic is the asian girl with the prettiest face, imo (not that there's much contest, we have all nerds), so for her to have an average rating of 5.5 means my school is a 3 on average, lol. No, really, there's like one hot girl in my school, it's terrible.

"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.
