"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.

What do u do when ur GF likes to talk on the phone a lot but you dont?

I heard from her friend that my gf told her i never talk with her on the phone

i never do like talking on the phone because:
I rather save up the talking for real life so i have stuff to say.
Everytime i talk to her, her only response is.."Oh"
She always says 'im bored' or whistles, but everytime i try to bring up a topic she jsut says "oh' or ''ok' or 'cool'
She is a boring talker.

Another thing is when i do talk to her, she likes to talk (or just stay on the phone) for 1+ hours....and if i try to leave she gets mad and thinks i dont wanna talk to her.

any advice?
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

There is nothing wrong with talking on the phone, as long as you do it right. But in this case your conversations sound awful. Just tell her you are busy, if she gets mad tough luck. In truth you ARE busy since these phone conversations sound terrible and you have better things to do with your time.

I had a girl like this. Lay the ground rules, tell her you don't like talking on the phone for an hour, you still love her, blah blah, this relationship isn't going to work out if you don't let me have my privacy, blah blah, she'll come crawling back to you if she decides to leave you.
