"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.

Let's imagine for a second, that we are still in imperial times. Your family wants you to marry this girl from another family in order to improve the trading relations of your two families.

The girl is pretty, 7/10, but you don't love her. Hell, you don't care for her personality. But marrying her would provide you would an enormous boost in social status, money, and prestige.

Would you accept?
 

"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.

Damn right I would. But that doesn't exclude me from porking some other chicks on the side.

No I would not accept. If its the money that I am in for, then I'd find myself a rich HB9 that I AM interested in. *G*:rolleyes:

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Just treat her as a buisness partner, and make sure she gets a good deal out of it too so she doesn't complain!

So yeah! Why not!
 

"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.

With the above as one of the established parameters, I would say yes. At that time intended purpose of marriage was entirely different than it is now. Royalty and aristocracy married for political and economic reasons. That is simply what was done.

However, I'd have a different view of it if we were to assume it was 2005 and my life was more similar to what it really is.

There's always a catch...there's always will be. :D

But just based on your data, then yeah.
