"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.

Well, this thread is mainly about how I FINALLY called the numbers I got and also about how much I love having options. So I called two of the numbers that I got from 1 particular set of girls and I got a message saying that both of the numbers were disconnected. That to me was an instantaneous delete. Then I called these 2 other girls who didn't pick up and left a message. They STILL haven't called me back, so I may just end up deleting those. Then there was 1 chick who did answer and I asked her if she would want to hang out and she said yes. And yeah, I finally called the numbers.

But also haha, I love having options because even if a number of girls flake, I have other girls who I can hang out with. I've got the girls I've numbered closed and the girls on Facebook which is about 10 girls in itself. This way even if one flakes I can just call up another one.
 

"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.

Now you're making sense.

Keep calling dude, Hopefully you'll get some positive results!

and if you get more numbers, call them within a week or 2 at most i'd say.

Good job,ElStud. And I completely agree with the title about having options.
This is a thread that I don't mind using one of my 10 posts on. You've taken a lot of heat from some of the members here,some of it justified,and some of it not so justified (imo). But no matter what happened or how hard people have been on you,you persevered and it seems to me like you are growing and gaining in knowledge about women/dating. It also seems like you have left behind that nonsense about kiss closing 5 minutes after meeting a girl. If that's the case,then good for you man. I commend you.:up:

:O arent u a clever one!
and do u go round asking every single girl for their facebook? wat kind of ***** are u man. and the reason the numbers werent working was because they gave u fake numbers... if a girl was really interested she wouldnt bother with bs games.
