"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.

Okay....

What have you learned Raymond?
 

"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.

Nope, she mentioned my name in her text, but whatever, I next'd her.
When did you next her?

Not in this thread you didn't.

I'd just ask her
That's true! If someone has a problem with your completely normal behavior, just ask about it :woo: ; even if the reason is BS, at least you'll have tried. One girl tried acting uninterested and she lied to me saying that she simply doesn't like school. You may be lied to, is the point :nono: .

Asking a woman about a problem is the worst thing you can do.
(I've learned this the hard way). You look like a little ***** and let her know that you are more interested in her than she is in you. In essence, she feels she is of higher value than you and will seek our a higher value male.

Also, even if the woman was to give you what she thought was the honest answer it would be of no help to you at all. As someone has already said they act on 99% emotion. There is no logic or rational thought at all. A woman cannot tell you what she wants, because she doesn't even know.

It's obvious she's no longer interested. Don't text her again for at least a month or two and if she texts you in the meantime I would either not answer or appear uninterested in her.
