"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.

Hi! I'm a doosh-bag

She messaged me again this morning, and I f#ckin answered her because I'm a goddamn fool who can't listen to my own advice. Good thing is I'm at work, and I got pulled away from my desk. I asked her to hold on a minute and got held up longer than I expected, when I came back 20 minutes later she was gone. I'd say those were fortunate circumstances because otherwise I would have entertained her like the friggin circus clown that I am until she signed off.

Damn 21 year oldsand their sweet, luscious, delicious, delectable, feminine bodies...
 

"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.

You're making me sick reading this. Quit talking to this AW, pay attention to the other girls in your circuit that DO show respect towards you, and move on. THis gilr is playing you like a two string fiddle. Ive experienced this a few times in my life, and they were all in the 18-25 age group. F these girls and then get outta town.

Haha, I hear ya

But its not like Im devoting any time whatsoever here. I mean, I've talked to her a grand total of 6 minutes over the past two weeks. I'm just sitting there at my desk anyway.

But anyway, this is a dead issue. Thanks for the boot in the a$$. The good news is, I took some girl to the track last night and won $200, now that's whats real!
