"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.

The Story


Picked up this girl on the bus, was very confident. I used a lot of ****y comedy to get the number. We texted each other for a bit during the week a little a was busy and she could see that.

The texting consisted of more C &F.

So we agree to meet last Sunday for a sit down. Met her at the coffee shop more C & F sat down gave her a little kiss.

for all my approaches, I am making progress.

So she said she had to go at 4pm and I was like since you have to go ill walk you back. My thinking was if she has to go don't push it and also leave her wanting more. So I left it at that.

But at the same time I could tell she was hot for me.

Wednesday texted her a bit more C & F

Friday rolls around I wanna set up something for weekend
so I text but no response.

Texted her again Saturday but no response.

so no I'm wondering if I should have taken every opportunity to escalate and to hell with her appointments?
 

"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.

what kind of texts did you sent? not the usual boring " hey how are you?"

you have to sent a hook text. something that will intrigue her.

"hey guess what i just saw that reminded me of our coffee?"

but anyways if she was into you she would had responded by now.

put this one on ICE. and sarge on.

Tiguere - that sounds like a pretty cool concept in texting. Any more examples like that, esp those that might have worked for you? (google search gives nothing :)). thanks.

She got another man and is not interested in you anymore. Move on.

Case closed.
