"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.

"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.

Why did she tell you she called him ? If it was late at night and you wern't there why would she bother telling you ? She trying to stir something in you. Maybe to make you jelous. Maybe she's a drama queen. If she has high intrest in you and she's your girlfriend why would she need to talk to the other guy ?
My opinion, tell her you don't like her calling him. Tell her calmly and nicely. Don't get pissed or fly off the handle, that maybe the reaction she's looking for. If she gives you a hard time about it or makes excuses, then you have one of two choices:
1. Put up with it and deal or
2. Kick her to the curb and move on.

While car501 may have a point, if it were me I'd just cut contact and end it immediately. If she's playing you, you don't need it and it won't stop here. If she's lost interest or is interested in someone else, then you're not doing yourself any favours by keeping her in your circle.

But that's just me, and I'm an a$$hole.

This has happened to me twice. If a girl does this to you, go back to macking WHILE in you're in your relationship (you heard me).

Pick up girls like "that", that look good etc., and brag to her how many girls YOU talk to late at night. This either:

1.) Makes her realize she's being retarded.
2.) Makes her realize you're too important and she shouldn't mess up.
3.) Might cause her to leave you, although this is EXTREMELY rare (meaning it hasn't happened to 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's only testing you.

Have confidence in yourself and act indifferent to the situation.

Tell her that the both of them should catch up if they want.
Encourage her to have guys as friends.

Im not sure how old she but if she's anywhere between 18-23 thats what i call the DANGER AGE she will do this kind of stuff if thats the way she is until she grows up.

If you want to be with her you have to get used to the idea of your gf being freinds with other guys, and encouraging it.

Trust me when you start to encourage you gf to have other guys as friends it says a lot about your self confidence and she wont do it as much when she see's that.

And if she does cross the line with of her guy friends you know what to do.

I wouldn't be surprise if she broke it off with you in the near future. Just doesn't sound like relationship material to me.


DJ Hawtness is right, just go out with other girls while she talks to this guy. Go your seperate way. If she wants to salvage whatever is left of the relationship, let her do it. You're a DJ and a DJ doesn't stand by while his woman disrespects him.

Honestly I would never wait until she crosses the line. A DJ should have enough insight to leave the relationship before it crashes, saving him the trouble of the drama.
