"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.

Thank god for that. I don't think I need advice from a dude who chases ladyboys in Southeast Asian countries. Keep that stuff to yourself.

Run along now and do ur usual blogging abt how life sucks for you.

That seems to be the natural way of things.
