"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've never had to deal with this before.

This week I got 3 numbers. I'm off on holiday to another country in a couple of days, then have exams when I return.

I won't be able to ask for any dates for about a month. A month!

So what should I do?

I had an idea to ring them near Christmas, just wish them a "Merry Christmas!", but even typing it makes me feel it's completely AFC.

How can I get them to remember me?

Phone call in between? Text messages? (which I really hate to use). What?
 

"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.

Send them a postcard from your trip... I've done that with girls I'm stringing along - it makes them feel 'special'... One girl actually has a collection of the places I've sent her cards from. Works like a charm.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

I do not like texting messages but GIRLS do :D
So keep them excited with SMS. Drop a funny line once in a while.
