"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.

The lady I was dating recently broke up with me. It happened quick and thinks were going great. **** happens.

Last Sunday I was at a bar near her house I never go to. I had a buddy who lives near there and I figured since it was a sports bar no chance I would run into her.

Well as I'm leaving I thought I heard her and saw her in the booth behind me. So I checked my phone since I snapped a selfie of me when I got home and I **** you not her ex fiancé was in the pic. What a photo bomb. For Xmas I gave her a 400 dollar coat

Would there be anything wrong texting her to ask if she was at the bar on Sunday
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

What? You thought you heard and saw her, then you spotted her ex fiancé in your selfie? Was he located around where you thought you heard and saw her?

You figured there was no chance of running into her, but would she have a problem with you going to a bar with a friend?

I feel like there's some missing information here.

I was there with a group of my friends. I never go here it was just a coincidence. I'm almost 100 percent it was her

Yeah, but what I wanted to know is if her ex fiancé was around her. This isn't clear from your description of the situation, just that he got into the selfie you took and was in the same bar. Were they talking or something is what I want to know, if they were I would just move on. Not sure what you really want help with here?

That 400 dollar coat is likely lost though.
 

"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.

I sort of just want to let her know, I get why she wasn't into us the whole time since I would imagine he was in the pic all 4 months

Sure go ahead, but you won't get anything good out of it. I would advise against it and just move on.

I thought so. I was just going to say hey I thought I saw you at this bar on Sunday. Drop it at that
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

I think you just want to text her by using an excuse. You know it was her at the bar and she broke up with you.

So yeah, she was potentially cheating on you, but it's over now.

So I don't really understand why are you trying to accomplish by texting her...
