"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.

Took a girl on a date Saturday, texted her tonight saying "Hey, whatever happened to calling me 20 times a day, the weather is hot lets have a picnic this week"

She replied

"Hey mmm don't want to spoil you so no calls :p and as for the picnic, we'll see if you deserve it :p"

OK I know she is flirting but she's also avoiding the issue so im not sure how to come back without seeming pushy and asking again.

Really it is not just the text. She is ****y and funny all the time and while i can usually come back with something just as good sometimes i get tonguetied and she gets the upperhand. She also uses it even when im being sincere or saying something complimentary.

Im also not sure if she's just a flirt and therefore deliberately not giving a straight answer about the picnic, or is interested but playing hard to get.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Yeah. You don't ALWAYS have to win at C&F! If you are light harted about it, and not be a ******* and trying to always win at little games (That shows you give those games a lot of value too!) you're gonna do better. DON'T SCREW THE VIBE BY TRYING TO SHOW HIGHER VALUE!!

The point it, you're a DJ: You obviously don't give a damn about anything, nothing hurts you! So no worries champ.

A cool reply I used one was: Wow, good comeback for once! ;) *Took the girls and hugged her, then let go*. She had a smile on for the next 2 minutes. Yeah, you can be a "AFC" sometimes. (Haha, does AFC still mean nice?:crackup: )

A good one for your case could be something like: With comebacks like that, you're asking for trobule little missy! :D or "Wow, you're being mean! I think I'm gonna have to put you in place... Lets go xzy at xzy, show up if you dare!"

i hope you get the idea.
