"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.

This is a rule that applies to every case. If a woman tells you she's crazy and says you haven't seen anything yet or wait til xyz happens. You cannot leave fast enough. There is no gray area here.

The other troubling thing is her fear of sex at 24, which either suggests severe OCD, or past sexual abuse both of which are basically a gigantic gtfo of dodge sign.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Consider this a soft next. I hope people know what I mean by soft next.. if you don't I'll explain.
But as long as you get laid, and gets minimal drama, you shouldn't want to end a relationship with a chick. You could see her less often at worst.
In this case, this seems to be quite minimal drama.
Wait couple more days, then pitch in a date as if nothing ever happened. If she asks, say you are over it, and just wanna enjoy good time with her.
Whenever she gives you too much drama, soft next. By drama, I obviously mean stuff that you consider isn't your fault. Try to be objective here, women have a very very hard time doing that and even some man but it should be you who's aware enough. Sometimes you make mistakes, if she gives you drama about it, no need to say anything or explain anything. Just don't do that mistake again. If it's free drama, soft next. Soft next is basically removing the attention you usually give her. It works wonders trust me. If you apply that from the beginning, you can literally be in a near drama free relationship with several and any chick.
Awesome post, i know what you mean by soft next but i think id rather cut everything off. Maybe i just dont think im emotional rigid to be able to go to that after a 6 month relationship

If you've been nc for 4 days and your in a r/s you better end it right away before she does because I can almost guarantee she's gonna dump you when she finally does contact you. the race is on,get to it right away.
Yeah i know this, but its almost like im scared any contact i make will bring back old feelings after the break or she try and talk me into continue, i would definitely feel better if i walked away on my own terms though
