"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.

Hey Guys,

After recently moving from New York to Europe i started to fancy this girl. We work in the same company different departments, to try to make it short and sweet it seems im getting good signals...Whats keeping me making some kind of move is someone told me she has a boyfriend (Maybe its not that serious)..Signs im getting

We always flirt, whenever i get to the copy machine, always chat make her laugh
Always says hi to me (waves) etc, she never does this to anybody else i noticed
After coming back to work/ weekend always asks me how my weekend was?What did i do (Why the hell do you care?!):rolleyes: Its nice she cares
Was able to get lunch once, after a nice convo, we were leaving cafeteria She says you gotta finish/tell me rest of the story next time (blushes a bit), before that asks till what time im working today (Once again why do you care?!
Our first intial contact where this kind of flirting started was when i was walking down the hall, and she was coming back i kept looking at her and just as about we were passing each other i kept the eye contact longer and looked at the corner of my eye and she did same as we passed each other with very slight smile

Question, is she really being that nice/flirty?!?! Or am i missing the most obvious cmon signs?!

Any tips, what to do/say when once again im at that copy machine and we are making small talk laughing?!? thx
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

dude point blank period dont date someone from work its always messy. you should be there to work and play comes after.

there is too much at stake,

if you dont like your job then invite her out to drinks with the rest of the office and see where it goes. if your game is good then at the end of the night the others will start to go home and its just you and her.

the way you are talking sounds like u are very outcome dependant so i would recommend you leave it completely and get out with other poooahhs for a bit.

1. Don't mess with people at work, it NEVER ends well.

2. Work your inner game, shake that outcome dependency.
 

"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.

Don't concern yourself with a bf unless she brings it up as if to say she isn't available.

Would it be a problem avoiding her at work if this doesn't work out? You have to consider the fact that this could affect your livelihood if she's the vindictive type. Also, you need to make sure you aren't violating any company policies in the process. As you've heard, it's not really a good idea to get involved with women at work who could potentially cause you problems AT work.
