"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.

Oh well. I'm still waiting for her to make contact. As before, we'll see what happens.
Don't wait for her to contact you, just put her on the backburner and get on with life. Keep yourself occupied, hang out with friends, hit the gym, indulge yourself in your hobbies and interests.

Just forget about her completely. What the situation with you two at the moment, meathead?
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

If I can manage it Don then there's no reason why other men cannot. There is no such thing as "I can't" in my vocabulary just "I can".

the trick is to not fall back into your old interest-killing ways if she comes around you again in the future

don't be so available and don't reward her with access to your valuable time and attention when she hasn't earned it
