"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.

Maybe this is a bit of a reach, but I'm wondering -any thoughts on David Letterman's statement Mon. night saying "Treat a lady like a wh–e, and a wh–e like a lady," I guess it's a quote from the 1930's.

I've heard it before, and I guess he opened with it early in the show, the reaction was silence.

Any thoughts on the validity of this statement?
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Dear Glass Half Full,
Treating a Lady like a w****,wouldn't be real smart,it was bad policy in 1930,and perhaps even worse today...On the other Hand,considering the second part,if w****s are your thing,then Yeah go for it,it might make a pleasant change for her,might even get a freebie LOL.
