"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 commented that I'm starving and the girl immediately responded "I've got class right now"

The simple fact that you are confused and asking advices here means its a red flag.

An interested girl would never do or say anything that could confuse or turn off someone she likes, she wouldnt run the risk to piss him off or lose him.

I generally agree with that (and this girl is a lost cause so I'm moving on) but i think the flaw in that theory is that it assumes that the woman you're dating is a mastermind with flawless social skills

Considering how few guys that describes i find it hard to imagine that there are no women that say and do stupid self defeating stuff lol.
