"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.

Anyone else notice it.... I went on FaceBook for about 5 minutes and saw 4 different girls in a new relationship. Anyone else notice a huge influx of relationships around the holidays?

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

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.

yes, I agree that there is some truth to this. People don't want to be alone at the holidays.

I also think many greedy women get with men around Christmas so they can have good gifts, and then dump them right after.

Thats a pretty negative thought about women.... I somewhat have to agree though, there are girls out there like this.
