"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.

Is it possible to read too much into a text?

I feel that obviously if you're trying to set up a follow up date or dates/meet ups and it's like your 4th or 5th meeting but you dont want to go straight into the 'hey lets meet up at so and so time etc' as it may come across needy or desperate especially if you did the same thing last week.

if you try a slightly slower tactic of asking how she is first 'hey you, how you feeling today?'

and she responds with 'Hi, been crazy busy lately! just got back from my brothers graduation, how are you?'

is the fact she's mentioned that she's been crazy busy a prelude for her to say she won't be able to meet up?

i just sense, if i ask her out she'll just say she's busy and will let me know.
