So I met this girl a couple days ago. She seemed very interested and was laughing at my conversation with my friend. She kept laughing and listening in. I introduced myself and everything and offered help on her writing assignments. The problem is that I never got her phone number. I got her email only. So I said "Fuvk it!" today and wrote her a short message saying something like "I enjoyed our brief conversation the other day. I would like to take you out for coffee or something when I get back into town sometime next week. Write me back with your phone number and maybe we can meet up sometime next week". It was short but to the point that I want to see her and talk to her some more. We will see if she responds. I sent that a few hours ago. My question is; under the circumstances, was that a good message to send? I was going to say something to get her number that day but I was distracted with my buddy. What you guys think? Think I will hear from her? She is much younger than me though....
"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.
Never asked out a girl on email before....
