"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.

"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.

Cheers,

So what you're saying is that you're spamming the forum with useless joke threads? There's enough of these type of threads by people actually being serious about it without having the need for more of the same from people who aren't.



PS - I'm sober.

PPS - There's this nifty feature called "Private Messaging". You can use it to send a message to a specific person instead of having to make a thread with their name and then the message, thereby cluttering the forum even further... :rolleyes:
