"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.

If you ask a girl for coffee or whatever, what distinguishes a date from just hanging out?

I have no problem with girls I just met but when you know someone a little bit better and you've spent time together with other friends, it seems as if you would actually have to say it's a date.

Whether something's a date or a get-together or whatever you name is, is determined by the words used. Don't call it a date EVER. It's just a naming convention for it, and when you avoid using the word 'date', it isn't as "charged" as using the word. By using the word 'date' you imply certain expectations.

In essence, hanging out, going on a date, meeting for a coffee all end up being the same. It's just a play of words. Don't make too much of a fuss over it.

Sandhawk is right, it is just a name. I like to think of catching up in terms of whether I can have sex with the girl or not afterwards. If there is a chance of sex I run game, if not...well I still run game so the next time we meet I can have sex with her :D
