"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.

Would a girl I met once 2 years ago remember me?

So Friday evening I ended up texting her it was nice catching up and hope she was having a good Friday evening. Absolutely no response lol. I am guessing she didn't like my looks (she is into guys with a lot of facial hair) and even though I had some maybe it wasn't enough or my haircut was too short. It's also possible she recognized me... I am tempted to text her something snarky like "lol alrighty then". Or "so much for not being superficial.." (she is some spiritual person etc...)

Anyway like I have been saying a girl usually needs to be physically attracted to you to even have a shot.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Wow so I was actually contemplating insulting her but she texted me back this morning in response to my sarcastic text Sunday. Basically said it was nice to see the face behind the voice used an exclamation mark and put an emoji in...

There's a good chance she is just being nice but who knows... I haven't responded but maybe I'll send her a future text.. I guess seeing if she still would meet up would be a legit test. My gut is telling me she didn't like my appearance though but I've been wrong before.. I'm also pessimistic by nature :)

So I am very surprised the way this is turning out thus far.. I thought for sure she didn't like my appearance after the video chat... and maybe that is the case who knows... But I sent her a scenic picture the other day and she responded back thanking me and mentioned how she will be exploring the outdoors this weekend. I told her I'd love to see photos (figured it could gauge some kind of IL) and low and behold today she texted me about 5 and responded to texts. she also has used emojis in her recent messages which I think is a good sign.

The true test will be though if she still wants to meet up. Hopefully since she didn't recognize me on camera it might help her in not recognizing me in person....
