"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.

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Red flags go off all over the place if your girlfriend has such trust issues. Especially when it comes to ending a 'date' early for what you said.

However don't be so quick to jump the gun and show her your phone. When she asks who texted you say "Danny" or whatever their name is. If then she doesn't believe you, you can go on to show her.


Crappy analogy I just thought up for you.
A man is murdered, killed by several gunshot wounds. Police ask an acquaintance of the man, lets call him bill, if he knows what's happened to his friend. The police do not tell bill that his friend has been murdered, let alone that he died of gunshot wounds. Bill immediately says, "no I didn't murder him, look at my collection of guns and you'll see the type that killed my friend is not owned by me."

If your girlfriend is touchy about you talking to other girls, it's best to answer the questions she asks you, not those that she hasn't (she didn't ask to see your phone.)
