"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.

What would you do? Would you go to the place of your desire and hold off your studies for a year at the earliest or would you settle for where you are, wait 2 years and then do an exchange program to go where you want to be?

I have had a hard time figuring out this decision.

If i go with option A, i would be working and then start studying at the earliest when i am 21-22 (I'm 20).

I'd also like to hear from successful professionals. I know that companies hire young-er people to start working right after finishing college. I'd be 25-26 when i would be done with my career. I am planning to study economy and also go into an area where i would like to expand. Elon Musk did physics along with economy.

If i go with option A, i would be able to start the business empire with my business partners. I can't do that from where i am since the distance is too much. My best friend told me to go with option A and not to look back. My only worry is my career and when i would be able to start studying. My parents, especially my mom, are overwhelming me and i have until the end of this month to decide this.
 

"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.

What do you want to do?

If you are tech saavy, I would recommend skipping college and go for certifications. An economics degree is worthless, unless you plan to go to a graduate program. I unfortunately have one.

I would like to study and be where i want to be. However, i will most likely have to pick one of the two for the upcoming year or so.

I'd like to get an MBA as well. Hm. I have the connections and the preparation to do good with an economics degree. The problem is that the country i am currently in is a 3rd world country. Most people give me an autistic expression when i ask them if they understand the stock market or residual income.

Option A is the USA = Work here and hope for the best in a year to start studying
Option B is this 3rd world dumpster = Study here
