"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.

Just random question here, see if anyone has the same problem. You know when u hang like long sleeve shirts or certain polos or t shirts, on hangers, and when you go to wear them they have the crease in the shoulder region, from the hangers? theyre reallly annoying, and hard to get away, the only way to avoid this is to have them perfectly folded and in a drawer or something, which i dont have space for. I dunno maybe its my hanging technique or something? Maybe wire hangers vs plactic? I dunno:whistle:
 

"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.

i love my shirts wrinkled. i usually ball them up and pack them really tight in a drawer.

but for button down long shirts, you could always get the think wooden ones they use in stores, or the think plastic ones... but the old school wire ones will definitely do what you said... put a crease in the shoulders.
