"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.

Ya, and be sure to rub her feet after. Also if you can go to her apt and do her laundry that's a big plus as well.

It's a cheap date. Plus, if you're under 30 or so, you're unique because, let's be honest, most young guys can't cook for **** and order out all the time.

agreed, definately.

I could always cook really well, and it does nothing but impress people (if you do it well).
