"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.

"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 don't know if I like this talk of women having no sense of loyalty or morality. It's hard to quantify, but I would say that 21st century middle class women are about as loyal as middle class men in the 19th century, back when men could treat women as they wished without any consequences. Human beings are about as loyal as their lack of options.

If I worked with a lot of eager sorority girls, if I could cheat without being shunned, if I could drop my wife or live-in gf any time she complains and keep everything we both own, would I be any more loyal than women who are in the same situation?

right before she broke up with me she called my best friend and told him to be there for me cuz she was dumping me and talkled to a few others and let them know too.
That's rough, and I think you suffer from Home Town Syndrome. Why would a girl you're dating know the #'s of your friends? And what kind of no-life friends do you have that they care about somebody else's love life? If my brothers girl called me to say she was dumping him, I'd say, "okay . . . is there anything else or is that it?"
