"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.

Well guys this is just a question for you about style. I wear black cowboy boots (western bootS). They look good in my opinion for dressing up, and I wear dress pants all the time. I hear bad things about the boots, that people don't like them....especially women. Hell, they even had a thing on the radio about the top 10 most unnatractive foot wear to women (don't ask me), guess what was #1?

I know it seems that if they're out of style (or never were in it) I should ditch them. The kicker is that it's something I'm known for. I also like how dressy they are. A cowboy is definetly not a bad thing to be, but is a bad dresser a bad thing? Obviously.

I like being known for cowboy boots....but I don't wanna be known for horrible style. What do you guys?

um. Is Minnesota known for it's cowboys and frontier?

If not, it might seem weird and out of place. In Texas, of course you think 'cowboys' when you think Texas, so people doing it there makes sense.

Im about to get cowboy boots, cause I cant wear timbs all the time and I dont like leather dress boots cause you cant really get them dirty...Dont get the kind with all the designs on them and sh1t, get the plain kind...Ive seen people pull it off before, all you gotta do is pull your jeans over them and most people cant even tell, and Ive seen some that are more for fashion purpose then an actual cowboy boot...

go up to some women that are like the type you want to attract, and ask their opinion... simple

Please, if you aren't a cowboy or live on a ranch, just dont wear them. There are way too many cowboy wannabes.
 

"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.

Cowboy boots are an American classic. They're as iconic as leather jackets and aviator sunglasses. I'm about to invest in a pair of brown ones myself. Any suggestions on which brand and where to buy?

I'd say theyre iconic of the American south.

I go to college in Michigan, and there's this TV ad for a car dealership with the owner and family in cowboy hat and boots and lasso and horses, and it look incredibly stupid. Cowboys in Michigan? Gimme a break. :rolleyes:
