"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.

i got this girl's number last week all be it her international number as she hasn't got a local sim yet.

anyway she told me before i number closed that she doesn't pick up her calls cos it costs her so much cos of roaming costs so only text her.

i felt this was leading up to a flake. most likely she'll give u the number and then just not reply. i said it was ok.

so being an idiot i texted her to meet up today or tomorrow, she didn't reply. her english is ok but not writing wise. either way she should respond to me regardless of being cheap right?

i should have just ignored what she said and called her despite it costing her a lot cos of the roaming charges so at least i know when/if we're meeting.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

if they barely know you, i find it a bad idea to set certain times. it makes them feel pressured. If you would have said something along the lines of "hey, want to get something to eat later this week?" or "hey, lets grab a bite sometime" would make them feel less pressured and give them a chance to respond over the whole week whether they can make it or not.

By setting a certain date and time, you not taking into account if she has plans or not which would ruin your chances. might also make you seem too rushy/needy.

If you told your girlfriend not to call you during the day and to only text you because you have limited minutes.....would you be pissed if she called u during the day??

Learn patience, always give space and never set yourself for failure. give your alot of options and time.

Instead of saying lets hang out saturday, say lets hang out this weekend. give you more chances of not having her flaking on you. When you have the date set up have multiple places ready to go to incase she decides she wants chinese/sushi/italian, etc.

women don't like guys that don't know what they're doing, so know what your supposed to do and act like it. if she changes her mind don't worry because u'll already have the answer to the next question.
