"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 have this really nice chick, she likes me, I like her, we flirt.. Basically I asked the other day if she wanna hang out sometime. She beat around the bush for a few, then said, yes i do but NOT YET, just like that.. We haven't spoke since then (yesterday), and I wonder what's my best course of action?

I asked her if she has a flim or pimple or something, her reply was:

yes!
pimple @ 3 oclock :/

I don't know what that mean.

I'm not pursuing her, nah, I just wonder if there any way or action to maximize my chances of her wanting to hang out with me?
 

"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.

She could want to hump your brains out but she's on the rag or, she's playing games. I personally would take it as low interest and wait for her to contact me with a day she wants to get together.
