"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.

So, last weekend I went to a party and met this girl who was pretty attractive. We start talking, and eventually we make out. I suggest a change of location, so we take the bus back to campus and head to my dorm room. She seems really interested, so we mess around a little bit. So, when she is headed out, quickly remember I dont even have her phone number. So we exchange numbers (she asked for mine too), and I think that I typed it in incorrectly.

Do you all think it would be alright if I message her over facebook and ask her if the number I have is correct? It doesnt help that the voicemail message just repeats the number and says leave a message (something that isnt typical of 20yr old girls).

I usually hate doing stuff over the internet, but I dont see her often and I dont think she gave me a wrong number.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Well if you are pretty sure you got the wrong number, then you really don't have much of a choice (unless you want to wait for her to call you, which is unlikely in most situations)

Did you leave a message? It could just be that she does'nt have a voicemail message set up. If so, give it a week after the voicemail was left, and if she doesn't call you back, then you might want to go the facebook way, if its your only choice.

Message her on facebook and tell her you lost the number. Don't say "Is this number correct?", say something like, "I had a great time the other weekend, I want to give you a call, but I lost your number."

facebook msg:

"i've been meaning to call you but i wasn't sure if you knew how to use a phone. xxx-xxx-xxxx is your number, right?"

At least i get away with those things. You probably won't.
