"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.

Went out last night and met up with a friend who was being set up by a girl I knew. Basically, the girl to guy ratio was 3-to-1 so my friend and one of the girls, I know, called me out to join. Was out and went dancing with them when I got there. One of the girls was a pretty good looking European girl and tried to play it pretty cool - but I noticed she was definitely a flaunter and enjoyed getting attention. She would randomly go up to guys and flirt and walkaway. Didn't give her too much attention. Starting dancing with one of her friends and got down on the dance floor - I'm a pretty good dancer. Then the HB 8.5 (the European girl) starting freaking me and did that on and off for about 30 mintues - whenever she starting rubbing against me, I would push her off to play a little cool. It seemed to work and got her more turned on and closer to me. At some point, we got separated by partially by other guys hitting on her and having to take a call. Ended up not talking to her again and just trying to review my game plan. Any suggestions on what I could of done to hook her?
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

It doesn't really matter what you could have done. Learn from what happened, and you know better than us just what happened. At what point you got separated, just why in the world didn't you take her home or something, etc.

Next time you go out, just keep that in mind. What you "could have done" in the past isn't nearly as important as what you "will actually do" in the future.
Peace.

Just trying to review my night so that I have a tighter game. Maybe I did all I could and she was a perenial flirter, but I think if I did something differently, the outcome could have been different. Just trying to figure out the situation.

In terms of why I didn't take her home, she wasn't ready at that point. Possibly, didn't build enough investment on her part.
