"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.

A while ago somebody posted a thread called 'HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT OF THIS SITE AS YOU CAN', that takes you straight to the tips page organised by five-star posts. Although the star system is controversial, I think it would be a good idea to have that link as a sticky, or at least as a footnote to the bible.

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.
