"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 been encountering with a difficult HB who never commits to a time with anyone even her friends and it started to p1ss me off cos she cancelled on me twice cos she went on holiday travelling etc.

it got to a point now where i told her to give me a time to reserve this week and she kept giving me a wishy washy answer of maybe thursday.

i was already annoyed with her before cos she's so unreliable and she pretty left me with an ultimatum of 'well if u dont like how it is then go.' in other words if u dont want to put up with my last minute cancellations and arrangements then leave,

i proceeded to explain how what she does is spoilt and rude.. she got p1ssed with me i was p1ssed with her but it just told me what i needed to know.. that she has low interest. i was thinking that regardless if she's a flake to everyone.. if she likes you that way she'd go out of her way not to flake?

but my question is how should i have responded when she gave me her ultimatum of either putting up with her unreliability or leave?
 

"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.

leave her, she will come back eventually if you had a legitimate connection

already deleted her number and left it, i mean what should i have said in response?

i could have just said 'fine i'm awaiting your apology in due course..' then hang up. but in her mind she's in the right and i'm wrong.
