"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.

Give some examples of texts to send a girl that don't ask questions.

I always see texts where guys ask too many question after question instead of value texts.

So what are some examples that you should say?

"This lady in the grocery store just skipped the line to buy vodka and condoms."
"Traffic is so bad. It's time for me to buy a helicopter"
"A little kid in a Pokemon T-shirt just flipped me off"

Add yours. Lets see some value
 

"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.

Texting is best not be used for general chit chatting...and definitely not for those types of texts. When you send texts like that you're just asking for validation from the chick if she's still interested in you and it shows. I recommend not doing that unless she starts something and you're simply responding to it. Just my 2 cents.

I text when I have something to ask or do, not to be wasting my time with useless talk, I leave the talking when she is with me, text to to make her move her ass to meet me, anything other then that is a waste
