"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 so I made a previous post about my g/f's lack of sex the past month. We have been dating for over 6 months and was sorting some ish about the current situations and put forth the knowledge i have gained from my last post.

Here is the current sitaution of our relationship. I took her virginity and she is in HS. She loves to stay on the phone and looks forward to seeing me on my days off and weekends. She enjoys my company. She still likes to kiss and hold each other but sex is really lacking.

Could this LTR be moving towards the friendship zone? Or is it going Platonic?
 

"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.

it turns into friendship zone if she loses attraction for you, which could happen at any time. it happened to me.
