"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 pick being a good friend... DJ's seem like all knowing social retards to me.

Than again, so do my friends.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Since when are the two terms exclusive?

Do you even know what a Don Juan is?

They are exclusive. There are so few DJ's here who even mention ht eword friend in their posts. Nobody here talks of having friends, unless they are other PUA.

Wing's are a thing of the past, it's all solo sarging, and social proof.

Ugh, how can you not be both?
 

"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.

You just gotta know the difference between friend and acquaintance.

An acquaintance is someone who you occasionally hang around, you can usually get something out of time invested with them, and they can be helpful sometimes. Not being around them is inconsequential.

A friend is someone who's got your back no matter what, regardless of how it profits them. I've bailed my real friends out of **** a ton of times, and they have done the same for me. Not being around them sucks ass, cause you are both stronger when working together.

I have really only a handful of real friends, the rest are essentially disposable acquaintances that I wouldn't think twice if they dropped out of my life.

DaMan nailed it.

And ethnomethodologist, get your ass off the computer, anyone with 500 posts in under a month is a pathetic sod.
