It seems that the last 6 or 7 posters came into the thread late, skimmed through it without actually being there when it evolved, then jumped on the "Y'all are postin' in a troll thread!" bandwagon. I wish it were so. I wish I was troll dad laughing at all of you, not having to deal with all this conflict, stigmatization, and flack. I will let you guys know when I finally do tap that.Gray The Prince said:
"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.
She wants me. I want her. But this isn't your average love affair.

"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.

Your game is weak Mr. Jibbles. Your thinking with emotions and not logic. So I'm going to say go ahead and try to seduce your cousin and when your the laughing stock of your city then I suggest you move far away.

I read the whole thread.
I think you shouldn't do it. If you feel weird enough about it (as you should, in my opinion), then you'd be better off not doing it. That's a sign that you know it's wrong on some level despite whatever 'culturally programmed' justification you wanna use. I think you'd regret it after doing it. I have a 2nd cousin who's pretty hot, and even then I'd probably abstain. Find a chick from the pool of millions that you aren't related to.
