"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 happen to my sig? It's only one short sentence...

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

It's still there.

I just turned off the automatic feature on sigs. You now need to check the box to have your sig show up.

Which means that if anyone breaks the sig rules, we know they did it intentionally and not accidentally... and swift, harsh, and horrible consequences will surely befall them.

Is it ok if the signature is like 11 or 12 sentences? I have some quotes that I really dont want to delete. I understand if you guys would be against this, so I will delete them if necessary. I will include my sig in this post.

Your sig is 11 lines long, which is over the limit and would be deleted. Even if you reduced it to 10, you'd still only be able to add it if your post was at least 10 lines long. A 2 or 3 line sig would be appropriate for just about anything.

Something is wrong, I still can't see my own signature. I have all the option enable ---->"user cp"---->"edit options"------->"Show user's signatures in their posts?"---YES
I even tried different internet browser like the Opera.
 

"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.
