"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.

they showed a lot of determination, ya gotta give props. I'm born, raised west coast and I've always liked the red sox. maybe if I lived back east and had to make up my mind who I would like better I would think different, but I like the yankees too.

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Go Sox! I've taken a liking to this team(not because they won the world series a few years ago, i started liking them before). It's time to see another team getting in there instead of the Yankees every year. The Sox deserve it, after many many yrs of nothing...especially after that error with Bob Buckner in the '86 world series.
