"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.

Anyone here ever found themselves madly frustrated about the way things are working out with the girlfriend? I really like my girl but I get on way better with nearly ever other girl. I don't know if its some kind of complex on my part that makes things so frustrating but I really want to get rid of this feeling. It makes me really jealous to see her getting on so easily with other guys too and I struggle with her in particularly.


What you guys think?
Drop her and maybe come back once we've got past this patch?
 

"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.

i think is because your insecuity that makes you jealous, if you cant stand her being around other guys, move on. Otherwise, up your game and be secure, know that shes your and just get on with it.
