"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.

Actually the real question is this. I asked her what kind of flowers she wanted and i don't remember if she wanted a bouquet or a corsage. So would it be rude to ask her again lol? And if so how should i approach the subject.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Is she a high maintenance girl? A corsage should be fine, no? I have to say though that in my experience, I've had a better time skipping the prom and just going to the after parties. Why should I burn all that cash, get dressed up and stay pg-13 while I can just wait until later and fcuk all night? Sounds like you're already paid for though. Just something to think about in the future.

just ask her again, it's not a big deal. I don't know why you wouldn't get a corsage, though, I didn't think that was even an option
