"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.

It does work you have real clinical depression.

It is almost guaranteed that you'll be prescribed an antidepressant by a psychiatrist.

Is this a new diagnosis for you? This is the time of the year that people get depressed because of lack of light and not necessarily needs to be fixed by popping happy pills.

Naw...I've been depressed on and off for years. I haven't felt right in a very long time.

My general anxiety is just over life. I have a series of failures (relationships, business, etc).

I feel sh!tty.

Cool.

You can get all depressed and try to overcome it and ride the rollercoaster that ****s up your life..

OR

You can try medication.

If the medication doesn't work, then go back to your rollercoaster.

Check out all the alternatives that modern science provides. You could be incredibly surprised.

lexapro makes you sooooooooooooooooooo tired all the time but makes you feel fine other than that.
 

"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.
