"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.

What guidelines?

I noticed for fashion the mid 20's do it their way with ripped jeans, Chuck Taylor gym shoes, the patterned shirts, tats all over. You know the dressed down but coordinated look.

Do you adjust your fashion and vibe for them?
 

"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.

If you dress and act like them, they will think you're immature. Mid 30's are supposed to be stable and secure. You can have similar interests, but do not emulate that type of style. If they are looking to date older, you should portray said traits. Unless, you're a celeb or something. Then you can get away with it.

I do what I want. Thats the reason they are attracted to me in the first place. That's why I'm 41 and have zero problems putting mid-late 20 year olds.
