"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Disclaimer: I was bored....

Guy goes through elaborate 3-week plan in order to break up with his girl in front of a crowd. The first video starts getting good midway through. The funniest thing to me is that the guy looks and sounds a lot like Billy Bob Thorton's character in Slingblade.

And here's an interview with Billy-Bob after the breakup.

"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.

I don't know what he was trying to accomplish, if he felt like doing that in public would somehow make it even worse for her, he was dead wrong. It just made him look stupid, and a lot of the crowd was obviously on her side - despite the fact that, from the info that was given, she cheated on him and basically is responsible for this situation. Plus he tells her he fvcked her roommate, so he is just as bad as she is.

Hey, I said that he was a AFC.
 

"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.
