"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.

Hia...

Just thought I'd ask for some advice....

I'm chatting to a number of gals on dating websites who don't log on very frequently, ie, once every 2 or 3 days and then log off after 30mins.

It makes it very hard to get a conversation going in anything like real time.

We're having lots of fun and I don't believe I've made any schoolboy mistakes (yet). I was wondering how you guys deal with this and move things on a little bit without losing social value and forcing the issue?

Some have been going on for a number of weeks and others are new, ie, days old. I'm not chasing them up with loads of emails, I wait for their reply before I respond. Some replies I get can be short emails and others quite long. There's a lot of variety here.

Any ideas?

Cheers...Alkemizt
 

"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.

ha ha...under normal circumstances couldn't agree more and that's my usual move.

With these gals, I'm wanting to get more engagement and rapport going before getting the number. I don't consider that a couple of emails every 2 or 3 days is connection.

Going for the number close now is unlikely to produce the goods. Get more engagement first and the number close will be a cake walk :eek:)

Unless anyone feels different???
