"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.

how the hell are you going to diss spiderman movies.

its a fvcking movie... they aren't TRYING to turn people AFC.

spiderman is the sh1t and always will be.

what would happen if ALL movies had a "DJ" Bond guy? how boring will that turn out if EVERY movie was like that?

quit looking into the small things no one pays attention to... and enjoy the movie.

if u keep looking into things you won't enjoy anything because nothings perfect.

My thoughts exactly! It was such a cool film!

Besides Peter Parker is supposed to be a wimp, geek and AFC. Its his character.
 

"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.

it's like the m ore spiderman movies they are, the father they get away from spiderman kicking ass and the more they flaunt Peter Parkers AFCism.

That's why I like X-Men so much. All of em. Simply because they put enough background in just so you can say they did it, but not soo much where it takes away from the coolness factor of the movie. I didn't pay 7 bucks to know why Scott Summers isn't in tune with Jean Gray, I want to see Cyclops blow up **** with his lasers!! I want to see Wolverine.....be wolverine! I want to see people float, and disappear, and all that good stuff.

Even the mortal kombat movies, you had to hand it to them... to this day I don't even know what the damn plot was in those movies, and to this day I still love them.. I literary couldn't tell you the difference between the first and the 2nd movie. If i guessed right it would be just that. I just know you are going to see about 2 hours of good ole fashion ass kicking.

While you get that with spiderman, I personally would think that people don't buy spiderman thinking "oh, this is a very romantic movie"... i mean it has it's romantic aspects, but you want to highlight spiderman being spiderman.
