"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.

Links to help victims of Hurricane Katrina:

Red Cross local chapters:
Most local chapters are collecting items to deliver to the Gulf Coast. If info isn't listed on your local site, call to find out how you can help. Old clothes, food items, pet food.

GO GIVE BLOOD!

http://www.redcross.org/where/chapts.asp

Donate money:

http://store.yahoo.com/redcross-donate3/


301,802 people have donated $43,435,020 to the American Red Cross to be used exclusively for the victims of Hurricane Katrina.

Rather than all the political posturing, arguing and flaming...why not open your wallets instead, because THAT will make a difference. Arguing politics and such does NOTHING to better the situation.

Moderators...if you feel it's best to lock this, please make it sticky so anyone who is able to and wants to help can see the links. Thanks...
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

9/11 didn't have as many living victims, though. People either got out with mostly minor injuries or didn't get out at all. This situation is much different. There are tens of thousands of very sick people. All of the hospitals need to be evacuated and all the wading around in that water is going to lead to staph infections and there will likely be a greater need for blood. Everyone should give money if they can...and people should give blood as well because that is free to do...especially anyone with rare blood types.

I dropped off a bunch of stuff from the list my son brought home from school at the local Red Cross drop off point. I'm going to donate money after I get paid next week, too.
 

"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.
