"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.

Would you ever try to talk to a chick in underwear sec. in the store?

"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.

You would HAVE to make a joke about the uncomfortableness, crassness, etc of the situation before you even had a chance. After that, yes! You can make it a source of humor throughout the situation

Well all that i was trying to say is something what if you see a hottie shopping for a thong or bra would you go up to her and talk to her.

What is so funny is that most of the time when i walk by there and some hotties are shopping some turn red or put down what there looking at :D

My opener for that situation (works pretty well most of the time) is, "You know, that one's not too bad, but if you REALLY wanna see something sexy, try this one . . . " Pick a different type, then hold it up to YOUR crotch and say, "You can see what I mean right? How the lines compliment my thighs?"
