"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've been reading some great books recently, and wanted to share a few great titles:

1. Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway.

I'm about halfway through and it is an amazing read. It is already helping me to get out of my comfort zone/rut and it feels great to do so.

2. Psycho Cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz.

Another great read. The basic premise here is that once you establish clear goals, you will automatically find every resource necessary to achieve them. There's a bit more detail and complexity but that's the starting premise and it is sound.

3. Maximum Achievement. A classic work by Brian Tracy. I dare say, a must read.

You guys have a lot of potential. Don't squander it by complaining about others: improve yourself and your results will improve drastically.
 

"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.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Right now I'm reading King, Warrior, Magician, Lover: Rediscovering the Archetypes of the Mature Masculine. Amazon link. Which came highly recommended off another site. I'm only half-way through as well, but so far so good.

Picked up a copy of "king, etc." Sounds like an interesting read. Will get around to it, but it's on my list.

Look forward to other suggestions.
