"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 have regretted giving my ex second chance hoping that she will change and ended up breaking up with again over something of which was not my fault but made it look like I am the one holding back meanwhile she was the one playing games and talking to guys.
I have noticed that any time she starts to talk to other guys she starts misbehaving and not take our relationship seriously. When I talked about she broke up with me rather. I didn't want to look petty so I walked away deleted her number, blocked her and changed my numbers. She will never hear of me or from me or have any means to get in touch ever again in her life unless she sees me in the news and hear stories about. If I meet her in public I just pass by her not just the way people pass by each in the mall. I just don't want engage in any way and create sort of opportunities for her. To me, we never existed; I don't her and she doesn't know me.

I am tired of trying to make people see the good themselves for some reason they can't control their thoughts and insecurities and I am the problem?!.

You need to live by Iron Rule of Tomassi #7.

Iron Rule of Tomassi #7
It is always time and effort better spent developing new, fresh, prospective women than it will ever be in attempting to reconstruct a failed relationship. Never root through the trash once the garbage has been dragged to the curb. You get messy, your neighbors see you do it, and what you thought was worth digging for is never as valuable as you thought it was.

A girl transforming in some way DOES NOT automatically mean that she'll be healthier/less of a heartache this time around. Case in point

Find a women that you feel is making you priority. This one was making you feel like a looser. Cut her loose, don't look back. If she can get another drop of blood from you she will. Her view of the world does not work well for you.
 

"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.

No -- not a bot. There are times where I do often re-iterate some main red pill talking points. In general, I think the Iron Rules of Tomassi are very good.

That was my whole point because she was not taking us seriously and when I confronted her with that instead of owning up her actions she decided ending it was the best thing and on top of before she left my apartment one night she was chatting another guy in the middle of the night in presence?! What a disrespect. When I asked she said is nothing and they only talk about anime stuffs.

The things she knows what she is doing but turns it around like I am the one with issues. I am glad this is over and she will see again. To me she is dead or I never met her and I don't know her
