"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'm a college student and this is my first job. i've been working at this store for 2 months and my boss only gives me 8 hours a week while everyone else gets 12-16. does this mean my boss doesn't like me? i thought if that was the case why doesn't he just fire me?

could it be because i lack experience? what should i do?
 

"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.

Unless your boss always speaks down to you or treats you like sh1t then you have no case.

He doesn't fire you because he still needs you.

More likely its seniority issue or the fact the position you applied for already has a F/T and a P/T working there and you are just getting the leftovers.

Talk to your boss and see whether he has more hours or other jobs available for you in the store and ask him whether he see's any increase of hours in the near future. If the answer is no then its time to start looking for another job.

there could be multiple reasons for that icatch..

You could be the newest employee in the store so he feels obligated to give the people that have been there longer more hours

Your availability might limit your boss from scheduling your for more hours.

Your experiences , maybe other employees do the job better.
