"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.

Two situations here ..

First, a girl I like who has had a boyfriend since at least last Christmas isn't going out with him anymore. While she was going out with this guy I'm sure that she knew I liked her because she would play this game trying to guess who it was and she basically found out (I didn't tell her though). Anyway, now that they aren't going out should wait a little? Not sure on the whole rebounding thing if it's ok or not.

Second thing, a girl said my writing was cute (lol) kinda caught me off-guard and I was just like "Oh thanks .." I know that's a really bad answer but does that mess up any chance I have with her? She's kinda hot.

And lastly, I need something to talk about with a girl that takes up like 30 seconds because I really ran out of things the first 2 months we walked together. I try not to let those akward silences happen but sometimes they do and BLEHHHHH annoying >_<
 

"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.
