"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.

Hey guys.
I'm getting laid off my current job with a two week notice and I recently wondered something...
Is there a min wage job that helps a guy become more confident when talking to people? Probably customer services kinda stuff?



*And yes, I say minimum wage cause I'm almost always broke and my last attempt at OSAP was BEFORE medication and therapy so that didn't go so well thus I have no way of affording college.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

There's always the option of being a barista at a starbucks? Think about it.

For the most part youre doing an easy job and every so often theres the decent-looking woman who always comes to get a non-fat soy latte or something similar that you could strike up some small-talk with.


Or a waiter maybe? There's tons of opportunities, depending on where you live

A retail job can help you gain some confidence. I'm pretty much in same the same boast as you. I recently left a job because they weren't being straight with me. So, now just get some cash I'll work at a store for the holiday's. It's not all bad though def. be able to practice my game!

go into sales. All you do all day is call people or arrange for face to face meetings.

It's a whole lot of cold calling, cold approaching, aggressive + soft tactics. Plus if you work hard you get paid well on your commissions. There is always a need for sales people.
