"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.

to da moderators. Do you keep a list of recently deleted and moved threads?

I would like to know who deleted "To Enthomethodologist" I have a few questions for him/her about internet etiquette. Thanks in advance for the help, and hope to hear from you soon.

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Sorry, to the moderators.

I hope that elicits a faster response. I am really curious, sorry for seeming so calm about it, it's really tough not exploding about it again. I'll tell you in private, twice in a row fate had me not respond, so I guess I just have to wait to say what I have to say.

A PM works much more effectively then wasting a spot on the forum for it. It's like those ban threads, they notice them, but have you seen a mod respond to them without locking it, (and now we're talking 5 days)?

A PM will usually give you contact within a day if you're polite about it.

Threads are moved locked or deleted in compliance with the forum rules.

Generally, a thread is locked either because it violates forum rules, is not appropiate or it has become bad for the general health and well-being of the forum.

It sounds like the post you are referring to could have been sent to you as a private PM. If you have any other questions about posts and posting feel free to PM a Moderator or Admin.
