"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.

Been talking to this girl over blackberry messenger that I just briefly met in London, she studies here, and we've been talking quite a bit for the last month or so, she's been back home (abroad) and is not back in London until June.
Things been going pretty well, she seems quite interested. I've tried to step things up a few times, she seems to enjoy it, but a bit of a prude... So not that much luck their esp. being that its over the phone...
So convo. is sort of drying up, which seems a shame because am getting a lot of hints that she likes me, I just don't really know what to talk about, and I need to keep things interesting until June!
Any ideas?

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
