"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

I know you guys got some good stories. Lets brag about um now. I need some new ones anyway.
 

"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.

Hi, my name is X, what's yours?
This opener is genious because you introduce yourself, you say hi, and you ask for her opinion!

I thought the trick was to say something else that makes her see you as a higher valued person and when you've done this right, they ask for your name?

Idk, asking for their name gives them the control.

But w/e works.

You don't really need an opener, other than the casual "Hey, whats up?"
I tend to say an opener based on a girl's facial expression at the time and I make assumptions based on how she looks. For example, if you see a girl and she looks extremely happy, I would say: "Hey, you look extremely happy today, what's going on?!" OR "Hey, you look a little down, what's up?"

It doesn't really matter what you say, just ensure that your opener does not allow her to say simple "Yes" or "No" answers, and you are in!
 

"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.

"Hi, my name is X, what's your's?"
"Hey how you going"

Really all you need.

Often I might comment on a girl body language like. "You look bored, let me cheer you up" and if I know her a bit I might tickle her or something.
