"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.

Weird thing happened to me today. Never happened before.

I'll just lay it out :

Lunch time. I go into nearby Subway. Place is empty. 25ish year old latina chick, about 7.5, does my sandwich. As my sandwich is almost done, she starts calling me "papi" which is spanish for daddy. Some customers walk in. As I am paying and getting ready to leave, she starts saying "papi" at the end of every sentence. Right in front of the other customers...??? I walk towards the exit, and she literally yells across the place, "bye papi" right in front of everyone.

Ok. So part of me thinks this bi*** was pulling a joke on me or something. I did not flirt with her or anything. Out of the blue.

Anyone shed some light on this, to any of you that this has happened before? Was she asking for my dic* or what was going on?

That wasn't helpful.
If you're looking for something useful here this:

Go back to that place and have a talk with that girl, what do you expect to gain here more than what you would get going there again and maybe flirt back.

Ok, what I mean is that she probably talks like that.

Some people say "sugar" or "baby" or "honey" to any people they meet. She says papi. It might have been a flirty thing, or just a thing she says to most guys.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Why don't you figure this one out for yourself? Maybe she's crazy, maybe she was drunk or on drugs and thought you looked like her "papi"... etc.

How are we supposed to know? Figure it out. It's not brain surgery.

Every time I'm served by a female at a Latin restaurant, they call me "papi".

And if it were some blonde bartender at your local sportsbar, she'd call you "hun".

You gotta get out more.
