"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.

What do you do when you have an interest in a woman that works in HR at your job? I know there is a mutual connection for both of us. But isnt this a very sensitive subject??
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Everywhere you want to be.... I'm like a Visa card
HR?

Anyway, chicks at work are always something to be careful with. You have all the sexual harrassment stuff to worry about. Some places don't allow romances within the company. Also, if you guys go out and then break up, you still have to see and deal with her at work. That's no bueno.

Just be sure you know what you're getting yourself into before you do anything you regret.

If she really likes you, no. Unless you have a nasty breakup, or if you're her boss. But that doesn't sound like the case.
