"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.

OK guys how would you handle a situation like this? before i start i would like to point out that i dont think i have a chance with this gal and its not a ooo i like her how do i make her like me post!

Basically gal i kinda liked (not so much atm) i twiced asked her for sum money she gave me £2 and £3 on two different occasions for lunch so i owe her a £5!

Anyway a couple of times she has mentioned that i owe her the money, fair enough etc

now normally she doesnt like hanging out me with outside college, and we live too far away to meet up just like that and neither of us drive,

cheekily whens she asked me for the money ive said things like

"well why not come and meet me and you can collect it?"

or "how about i pay ya back by buying lunch"?

but all the time she comes back with "nah dont worry about it"

now like i said im not bothered about getting her to hang out with me (altho that would be a bonus) but im more interested in lines i can say and come back with when she says that?

****y and funny and not too bothered lines?

cheers

$0.01 to the first person to link to the recent thread with virtually the exact same story. Not saying this one is any less important, but I clearly remember there being one with almost every single detail being the same - odd.

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Why.... are..... you..... trying..... to.... impress.... her.....?

I suggest you keep your dignity and move on. Seriously :).

Okay so far this is what you described:

Her: hey you owe me money
You: how bout i take u to lunch instead / how bout we meet up somewhere
Her: nah dont worry about it

Now take note of the NEXT STEP:

You: ok (shrugs, then MOVES ON without worrying about how to come up with some line to counteract the subtle rejection, which is probably not your fault, so dont worry about it)

Note the emphasis.

It's one of the reasons I avoid lending money to / from my female friends. It's just no way in the Abyss you can come up with a killer punchline when the issue is brought up.

If you have to borrow some money from a girl, make sure you pay her back within the same hour.

How about this:

Her: Naw, never mind.

You: Hmmm. It seems like it matters to you since you brought it up. I don't know why you wouldn't want to hang out for lunch and have fun. <pause> I guess you don't like to have fun.
