"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.

craigslist sucks. there's this stupid game going on about who's gonna send a pic first
I think she is not going to give you a straight answer. It is not going to happen. Best case is you ask her out again and she says "Sorry I am busy". Thiis is her most straightforward answer.
Women are chicken when it comes to be bold and say what she thinks. No way she'll tell you...
I don't think it is very unusual though: many men would behave excatly same way: they will never tell you face to face "no dude, I am not going to go there cuz I don't like it...." they would come up with somehting "Hm, I'll call you". Needless to say they won't call you in time.

I suggest to try some free dating sites then: matchdoctor or Plentyoffish. They are free!
And if that somebody has sucess with craiglist, you may ask him how he is doing that.. if I were you I would.
