"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.

com·pla·cen·cy
n.
A feeling of contentment or self-satisfaction, especially when coupled with an unawareness of danger, trouble, or controversy.
An instance of contented self-satisfaction

My problem... and most of yours as well.

I am a lazy son of a b!tch. I suffer from chronic breaks. I LOVE procrastination. A comfortable cruise is great, just sitting there, watching things go by, like an old man on a porch. I love to relax, even if there was no stress. If I have no plans, I WILL sleep for 16 hours, wake up take a shower and watch TV until I want to go to sleep.

I know only lazy people are going to read this... and none of them will care because it is WAYYY too much work to put any effort at all into these kinds of thoughts.

So take this as a rant, complacency is bliss.

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

I'd rather put a gun to my head and pull the trigger than live like that. Honest to god.

I used to be like this. I'd sit at home and play video games and watch TV while the world was passing by me. Hell, I had girls asking why someone like me doesn't go out and have fun.

Meet some new people, take a few risks. It might feel uncomfortable at first to go out to clubs and such and meet new people, but once you get some outgoing people to hang around with, your whole perspective on life is going to change.

2 years later, I'm in college and I find it hard to go a night without going out and mingling with ladies or even guys (No I'm not gay). Grow a pair and takes some risks. It's well worth it in the long run
