"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.

Generally, should you call a girl now and then, when you can't see her in person for some reason?

During the next two or three weeks are the exams at my university, so everyone is more or less busy learning, including the girls I'm currently interested in (had one or two dates).
Anyway, I asked all of them to join me for some activity and the answer was always something like "Don't you have any exams? Myself, I'm at home most of the time, learning."
Yes, sounds like low IL, but I don't know.
So, I wonder if I should call just to chat a bit or wait until the exams are over?
Bad thing is I don't know exactly when their exams are and they will surely reurn home after the exams.
 

"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.

Its a tought time, i know that, im also in exams.

If you call them maybe you get lucky and they got some free time and show that they would like to spend it with you. But it has some risks. You might not get the right impression from them, they may in a lot of stress and you might get upset for them not responding to you like some of them prolly would when their are over exams.

Women are just like this. When they have something in their mind, they focus all about it, and all the rest around them is secondary.

Oh now i read about some of them going home after.. In that case DO something about it! Try to flirt with the best ones. Get laid, say to them that its good for relaxing after a good study day, and that it has vitamins.

Funny, aren't the scientists saying that women are able to do multitasking, while men are not?
