"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.

her: 'I'm back in town, meet me'
me: 'Sorry I can't I'm out of town on work, and I have too much, can't make it back to London for the next few days, possibly be back by Saturday'
her: 'I fly on Thursday' (1. I already knew this 2. Does she think I'll automatically do something about it...)
me: 'Miss you lots, wish I could make it back to meet you but this work is really important'
her: 'I miss you too, this is annoying.'
(I really had to think here wtf to say)
me: So when do you get back?
her: don't know (awkwardness, of course she knows!)
me: Ok, I hope you have an amazing trip
her: Thanks, bye

Whaaaa????????
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

She was looking for a quickie. she doesn't seem to have a lot of respect for you. I would've answered with short curt answers.

How is the best way to earn respect from her?

Quite true, I did chase her a lot in the past, do you think that changing my behavior now would reverse that?
