"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.

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Sorry for your hard times but this is not the place to dump all of this. This forum is not in any way meant for something such as this. You need a real counselor. Posters just counsel on dating issues here.

Since I’m older than you I can tell you to cut that sh*t out and snap out of it.

Surprise surprise, everybody dies!

We start noticing that more and more as we get older.

The grape is a spice to life, not a main course. It will make you stupid when you need to be smart, and fail with women when, if only you could remember your DJ licks, you could succeed.
