"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.

Exactly.
A woman who is a decent looking 36 year old woman with a job and a little debt, needs to be trying to snag a decent looking 36 year old man with a job, and a little debt, not trying to snag either the 44 year old boss who works out everyday.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

You took my post a tad bit too literary. All I meant was that a woman should be looking for her equal in life, not always looking for prince charming. To quote rick pitno "bratt pitt ain't walkin through that door"

I've read that on average, a woman likes a male to be four years older than she is. The extra experience gives her something to look up to, I suppose. And a chance for him to get a little further along in life.
