"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.

So its this girl that i really like and care for she got real upset and disgusted with me because I became jealous and mad at my so called friend when he was talking to her in a "more than friends" type of way.
I got mad over a similar situation earlier this year but i guess she forgave me she said I lied about being mad both times witch i did but she lied also saying she had no feelings toward my so called friends. But the thing is I never really told her i liked her i just SHOWED her I like her and care for her. I dont understand why she would lie if she didn't care for me back my friend showed me texts. I just regret letting my jealously get to my head. IM not in the least bit desperate there plenty of other girls i could get with. But its just something about her that's different than any other girl iv'e ever met IVE NEVER DID THE THINGS i DO FOR HER than any other girl ive been with SHE' s special. SO I NEED I JUST NEED SOME ADVICE ON HOW I SHOULD APPROACH THIS SITUATION HELP Will be HIGHY APPRECIATED.
 

"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.
