"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.

so theres a girl i've known through my roomates gf for about 6 months. she's in the same circle of friends, and we all party together once every month or so. the last few time thats happened, we've both been really messed up (booze) and shes slept in my bed.
nothing happened those 2 times because either she was passed out, or throwing up (lol i know.)

i had a housewarming about a month ago, and that night (first night she slept in my bed) she was grabbing my ass and being very flirtatious.

i saw her soon after when we all went clubbing. we were dancing together and making out for a bit. she felt sick a little later so i took her home early b4 everyone else. i was high on mdma that night, and didnt really feel like hanging out with a near passed out drunk girl so i waited for a bit for my friends to get back. that was the last time she slept over, i drove her home the next day and got her #.

we had a good first date on saturday. i bought a bunch of stuff from the grocery store (cheese, salad rolls, sushi, bbq chicken, wine, etc) and had lunch on my wrap around patio over looking the ocean. we then went to the beach to meet up with my roomate as he was having a birthday party with a bunch of my friends.

yesterday i had gotten floor tickets to the kanye concert and took her (probably too nice but w/e.) we had a good time, and i was getting kino in. it seemed to be going well. she really likes kanye, and im glad i got a chance to take her to this show as shes a student and kinda broke.

anyway, im going away for 10 days on thursday. i wanted to see her one more time before i left. we made a dumb contest last time i saw her and i lost so we were going to think up some kind of "consequence" as she said.
tonight i decided to get ballsy and texted her saying that that consequence should be her coming over here tomorrow and making out with me. she replied that she was slammed with work school for the next few days (shes a teacher and its
report card time.)
i texted her back, "alright. so ill see you when i get back."

she never answered.

do you think i came on to strong? there's clear signs of interest from her...

my backround: im 25, tall, probably an 8, well off and self employed.
i like this girl, but its not a huge deal or anything if things dont work out. going out to see my friend in a uni town with lots of girls so im covered either way.

Do you not see your last text message?

"alright. so ill see you when i get back."

You stated YOU would talk to her again.
But if you dont mind me asking, whats MDMA?

Yeah, if I were her I probably wouldn't have replied either. You kinda ended the convo yourself. Don't worry about it.

As for coming on a little strong...you didn't word it very well, and it was through text, where it is hard to read emotion. But, I wouldn't worry about it, she sounds interested :)

And yeah, what's MDMA?
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

That wasn't ballsy that was cowardly. Ballsy would be to set up a date and then going for the kiss. Cowardly is to hide behind a text message for a stright up text message reply to varify if she likes you or not.

Also you overtly communicated to her what you wanted to do to her, instead of using your skills to increase her interest in you and then going "spontaneously" for a kiss close.

Next time do more and say less. There is a good chance you have already blew it with this girl because like it or not it was a rejection (nobody is that busy to have a couple of hours to spare and she choose not to spend them with you).

yah you're probably right. i sent the text instead of calling cause i know she's busy and what not. she actually replied as soon as she woke up this morning saying she fell asleep (she's up @ 6am everyday.) she said we'll hang out when i get back from my vacation.

damage: ive already went on a couple dates with her and made out/kissed a couple times so i didnt think it would be a big deal.

i agree with the do more say less though. going to work on that.
