"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.

Yeah, that thing really pissed me off! I don't get any e-mails any more after turning that stuff off. But when the new forum was put up, I had about FIVE e-mails sent to my parent's e-mail. They saw them and deleted them before I could get to it... I was really embarassed about it, but didn't mention it to them. They never mentioned anything about it to me...

Weird.

Probably old threads that you're subscribed to. I imagine it won't happen with new threads. If a particular thread is giving you problems (lots of emails) I can get you off. PM me.

I also set the registration default option to no emails. Don't know why it was set to yes.
