"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 this kind of behaviour something to be wary about? (or otherwise a red flag)

The behaviour I'm talking about are women who are immediately very flirty with you - stars in their eyes, like they're totally entranced with you. Seemingly pressing close to you. Then shortly after, seem to drop this relatively intense attention, and focus on something else. At times... it seems like they're not even paying attention to what you might be saying - staring off at something else, no acknowledgement of what you've said or that you're even talking. It seems like a strong 'very into you', then 'forget you exist', then 'into you' - etc.

It varies of course... but I've noticed the main difference is that (I think) with most people or women, there's a level of consistency of communication or behaviour that gets built up. Maybe different rates of growth (sometimes I click very fast with some women, sometimes it takes some time) - but regardless, it's somewhat consistent. Not entirely up and down.

With these women... I just have the sense that... it's not a real attraction? Like I'm being used for attention, and once I've served that need, I can be put to the wayside until their fancy needs fulfillment again.

Now I'm totally open and willing to be convinced otherwise, if I'm judging this whole thing wrong. That's the main reason I'm asking this question - to confirm whether or not my 'feeling' on this is right, or not justified.

Is this just something girls do? A form of flirting, and maybe it's just ADHD kicking in at times? Immaturity?

I've experienced this behaviour only with two women for certain - one I knew for years, and one for a month or so - but each time, it's always ended in some kind of bad manner. Gotten silent treatment for a day, or a couple weeks. Usually myself at the end backing away from the up and down, trying to even have a basic friendly friendship - which seems to promote what I think is resentful or snotty behaviour from them - and then myself cutting them off permanently.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

I think you presented the problem and the solution in the same post. Stay away from these type of people.
