"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.

Ok, I've got a little experiment I want to set up and I figured you all could put a little input in for everyone to use that has been in this situation and wanted to get out, but didn't know how.

I liked this girl a few months ago. Quite attractive. Kinda long distance (20 miles). But she believes in long distance relationships so that's not a big problem. Since it's a fact that I'm in her "friend zone" I want to see what it takes to successfully get myself out. That's why I'm doing this test.

I've started talking to her a lot more, and Sunday we're going to the beach. It's a start, but I want everyone else's input on what to do and together, maybe we can help out others. I just thought this little experiment was a cool idea.

Tell me what you think and where I should take it from here.

Thanks. :cool:

I don't think talking to her a lot more is gonna do the trick...be careful with that.

Kino your @ss off....escalate, escalate, escalate.

That's what I plan on doing. Good thing is, she actually gives me something to work with, when I flirt, she flirts back kinda thing.

But remember, this is still just a friend, so I want to do this successfully, and remain friends or more. I don't want it crashing and failing. haha. ;)

Yeah man, I'm in a similar situation with one of the chicks I know

And yes I agree, the easiest way for us to get out of this situation is to as ARocket so eloquently put it:

"Kino your @ss off....escalate, escalate, escalate."
(I'm laughing but it totally true!) :yes:
