"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.

Is she worth waiting around for?

Ok so I've went out with this chick a couple times now and she always seem to have a great time. Well Last week aparently she went to the hospital. She texted me while she was there saying that can't wait to see me again and will call me as soon as she gets out. It's been a few days now and I'm pretty sure she isn't in the hospital because she has logged onto the dating site we met on. Do you think maybe she is just a player or something? I'm thinking about just forgetting about her all together now. I gave her a call today to see how she was feeling, but she didnt answer. I have plenty of other chicks to hang with, but I felt like I had more of a connection with this one. Just not sure what I should do now.
 

"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.

k I finally got a hold of her on the dating site. She told me her phone was out. She also told me she had like a couple dinner dates and other stuff, but she still wants to get together with me soon. I guess she is a bit of a player. So I'm just gonna do my own thing and keep my options open!
