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.
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.
On the other hand it becomes more and more acceptable . More local next-door-women do this thus they'll lure in more and more men..It's a clear sign of the climate this ( dating ) era is in."Soared" my @ss OP. Sh1t's starting to plateau if it hasn't already

OnlyFans reported $7.22 billion in gross revenue, up 9%, and pre-tax profit of $684 million, up 4% for its 2024 fiscal year.variety.com
From the article: "The latest OnlyFans results show its revenue and earnings growing at a slower pace than in past years. In 2021, OnlyFans saw gross revenue shoot up 118%, driven by the global COVID pandemic, followed by annual increases of 16% and 19% in 2022 and 2023, respectively."
Might be a good time to short.

I bet the 19% growth in '23 had some creative accounting involved.
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

We'll see if OF reached it's peak ..
The world's oldest profession isn't going anywhere, but the dollar amounts go up and down with the economy. Not that I was there, but there are stories of Eastern Europe after the fall of the USSR where prostitutes were going for the price of a sandwich.
