"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.

last year i got really close with this girl. we've kissed a few times, talked heaps but nothing really ended up happening since we are both so busy i guess.

anyways we still talk once or twice a week, and lately shes been telling me she misses me, asking me to catch up etc...

then, last night, i was doing a bit of cyberstalking.... and i went on her blog, where she had actually written about me... more so about a song which we both used to love. she wrote:

Not only does it (the song) remind me of my childhood but a really good friend of mine, when we used to talk heaps and heaps, once told me that this song reminded them of me. Not sure whether that comment implied that they thought I was a happy person or that I had the effect of making them happy, like the song does. But whatever it meant, I can only smile and feel flattered :)


what do you all make of this paragraph? IOIs?
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Sounds kinda like she's telling the world she has some guy complimenting her.

I would argue that she's tryna get the attention of another guy, and you're the bait.

She's talking about her BFF. The person she talks with for hours on end and shares feelings with. IOW, her girlfriend.

That girlfriend is you.

Indeed.
That was not an IOI but actually an IOD, indicator of disinterest, because it shows shes not interested in you in a romantic way.
