"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.

Hey Folks just my observation..when I went both to Sydney and Melbourne..Most of the weekend evenings I saw Aussy ladies with Aussy guys, Chinese ladies with chinese dudes and other Asian people with their Asian partners..is that the dating norm there or what...

But on the other hand I saw group of noisy dudes where there were three aussies, two CHinese and one Indian ..

Similarly, I saw ladies from multiculrtual background hanging out with the local ladies there in pubs and groups..

Is that the "friendship" versus "dating" culture thing?

The number of cross-cultural people dating are down to the minimum..but they all go the same places such as Hard Rock Cafe or some local discs...

Is it different is UK or US for that matter...??
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

In Sydney there are only two groups - Asians and the rest. Asians stick together and hate on the rest. The rest don't give a **** about the Asians. It's a nice balance.
