"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.

Well she's either trying to see if you get jealous or is giving you the hint she's taken (or gets about). Which do you think it is?

Seems to me like you aced the jealousy component of the test. However, the test was also her trying to DHV, or to tell you she is taken. My bet is DHV, which you brushed off, and passed admirably.

Well played.
