"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 one of my Exs best friends wants to go out with me.
The only problem is that my ex also wants to get back together with me, and i fear that she has convinced her friend (HB 9.5) to try to hook her up with me instead. i explained that i only felt a "friend" thing for her.
is there any way i can fix this with my Ex in a that could benefit with me going out with her hotter friend?
 

"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.

Yea, stop worrying about your ex and just focus your game on her hot friend. You shouldn't give a sh*t about what your ex thinks or does.

If the 9.5 is TRULY interested in you, she won't listen to your ex gf and will want to stick with you. If theres not that much interest, she'll try to get you and your ex back together. If she does the first option, then have fun and enjoy yourself. If she does the second option, I would just try to avoid talking to or seeing the ex at all costs and come on even harder to the 9.5. If still nothing, then just next her.

Thanks bro, well it seems my ex has convinced her friend to help her get back together with me, but that's not going to happen and i guess im gonna have to lay down the ground rules to get that thought out of my Ex's head. (respectfully of course) and hopefully convince her to back off and let me have a shot at her friend, cause i WAS supposed to be going out with her friend this weekend, but she convinced her not to come.
