"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.

Wow. A girl actually asked me to do this just this Saturday. I thought this sort of things only happens in movies.

I asked her why I should buy her a drink. She said that it's because she's hot. Honestly she didn't look too bad, but the nerve! She asked a guy (me) that she doesn't know to buy her a drink? What makes her think that I'm going to do it?

I told her that I'm not buying a drink for her, and how she looks isn't enough reason. I'll only buy drinks for others I know, and that's if I think there's a reasonable chance that they'll buy me some drinks later.

Sometimes people have offered me drinks, and I only accept after I try to talk them out of it, and fail. But, I've never asked if someone else could buy me one without plans to pay them back later.

Has this actually happened to anyone else here in real life? I seriously thought that it was one of those cliche urban legends, like the bar fights of the "Wild West."

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Just say no. If you're a millionare then you MIGHT concider buying a girl a drink cause it doesn't mean anything to you. You could buy it for her and not even acknowledge her if you're ballin. When ever a girl ask me to buy her a drink out of no where after we just met, I tell them maybe in a minute and go back to the conversation if possible. If they walk up to me out of no where and ask for a drink I look at them like they're crazy and tell them to f*ck off, cause that's just dissrespectful.

If people ask to buy me a drink and I know they're rich, I'll accept flat out. If they offer and they're average I'll tell them I'm okay out of respect.
