"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 have a goal of owning and running a small/personal business within the next three years, and owning a successful company that I can "step back" from within the next 5-8 years.

This isn't out of the blue, I've had this notion for years now, but only since entering university and realizing that I'll be released into the wild in 3 years that it's time to start acting now.

I'm wondering if there are any people here who have started their own business from scratch, and if so, how did you take those first steps?
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Yes, I run my own business(music industry), as well as work part-time for a company for medical, dental, and other benefits. The way I got it started, was, I met with a lawyer, who worked out all my copyright info. and registered it for me. It's relatively easy to start up. There was a fee to start it up, which wasn't too bad. The only problem is the beginning stages of the business...as you know, every business starts off slow, until you get your name out there and build up a steady clientele.

Your location listed G.C so i assumed you'd be studying at Griffith, however, can't say i can do much for you, most of my buddies are in the medical field at Griffith and the others are students studying similar subjects. Sorry mate.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
