"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.

I have talked to her a couple times but she is always with her friend (haven't met her friend). She doesn't introduce me to her so whatever. I have talked to her in passing a couple times but I have no idea if she is single. The problem is that I see her now once a month since she says she switched to swing shift. Is it okay to ask this broad's friend if she is single? I was going to introduce myself to her friend and just ask if she was single and that she was pretty cute. Her friend is married I believe. Then, I was going to say something like "well thanks, maybe I'll ask her to do something with me next time". Is it bad to ask her friend? Remember, I rarely ever see her now. And when I do, she is working out with her friend and I feel awkard asking her out during their workouts. I have to catch one of them alone I think.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

I'd ask the friend. If I can't ask the girl directly or while she's alone and the girl doesn't even notice me, I have to take some form of action. Waiting too long might result in her having a boyfriend.
