"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.

Great date turned sour

I just had a really good date with my girl today. We went out chilling downtown, had icecream, talked a lot, had lots of fun. Basically, we were having a blast.

But she had told me she wanted to be home by a certain hour. I was ok with that, but I told her that I wanted to go pick up something before (something completely unrelated to her or the date). So it's time to leave, we get in my car and drive. It's rush hour, really bad, so we get stuck in traffic. Anyways, long story short, by the time I bring her back to her place, it's one hour past the time she wanted to be back at.

On the road, I was trying as best I could to go fast and bring her back in time, but after seeing that I couldn't do it, I got annoyed and you could see it, and I told her I was sorry to bring her back late. All she said was basically "I told you we'd be late" in this too-calm-to-be-good tone.

We get to her place and her mom's angry. (That was the reason why she wanted to get back early in the first place) I apologize to her mom for bringing her late, that she had nothing to do with it and that she actually wanted to leave way early but I held her back and insisted we go to that other place; the mom didn't seem to care much.

anyways, I left afterwards, but I really feel bad about this. I had told her that there'd be no problem, she'd be back home on time, yet I failed to keep my word. I acted really selfishly by going to pick up that thing, and now I feel bad about it.

What should I do?
 

"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.

You should have blaming on the traffics.

You know exactly that you won't get laid on this date, should of bing her home an hour early instead of an hour late.

If I am on a date and she said she need to go home at 10. Just when the convo get interesting I'll tell her I needed to go home early. Maybe set up a second date by 11?

Just don't bring this up again, if she brings it up just say its not your fault its the traffics, and you both didn't know about the busy traffic.

dude you did mess up slightly, but you have apologized to her and the mum, so no more dwelling, and no more mentioning it again. You've learnt from it right??

If it gets pulled up again, it was the traffic - remember?

dont do your own stuff when your with a chick, leave early and do it, dont drag her along too !
