"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.

Does the LJBF logic apply to foreign chicks as well?

There was this Colombian girl I used to work with who I kind of liked and we even went out on a date. However, she was pushing the whole we "should be friends first thing". Right after that, I moved to Boston for grad school, but she would still call me. I got pissed at her and told her to stop wasting my time and we have not really talked in two years.

I am now back in the area and decided to just shoot her an e-mail.

THis is part of what she wrote:

"IF YOU WANT OR THINK WE CAN HANG OUT AND BE FRIENDS IT WILL BE NICE"

I am not sure how to read this one, but it looks like I have no chance.

I am not supplicating to this chick nor will I be upset if I got LJBF'ed. I just want to know if it is different with foreign chicks.
 

"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.
