"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 muffed up my ankle pretty badly last night using one of the best tricks in the book: the ol' "Falling-blindly-off-a-curb-because-you're-a-total-retard."

What fun!

Question is, How can I, uh, "make it better"? Sure it'll take time, but what do you guys do to alleviate the whole shebang? What types of things can I do that'll speed recovery?
 

"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.

RICE method for sprains.

Rest
Ice
Compression
Elevation

And take an NSAID (Non-steriodal anit-inflammitory drug) (that's ibruprophen or acetaminophen) for pain.

The Ice-Hot treatment....submerge your foot in a bucket of ice....and leave it there as long as you can tolerate...then take in out...and apply heat to it...(if you don't have a heat pad...get some hand towels...wet them...and put them in the microwave...to heat them up....)....repeat the process...10-15mins Ice...then 10-15 mins heat....should reduce the swealing...also try not to put too much weight on it when walking...and keep it elevated at night time...to minimize blood flow to the ankle....

Any time guesstimate here? 'cause I've been taking cold showers every day here for a long time, now, and I... well, I "can tolerate" quite a bit :D

EDIT: I mean an overall time guesstimate (IE, How long is best? An hour at a time with two-hour breaks inbetween, or a marathon 16-hour-long session once a day?)

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
