"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.

Hi. I'm new to the website and I gotta admit that this has to be the greatest thing since the invention of bread..seriously.

I've spent the last couple of days reading the articles and it has slowly changed my life--especialy the article..'todays the day."

Being a procrastinator when it comes to things I am unfamiliar with, I would find myself just putting things off, especially my sex life, but todays the day I've decided to change that.

todays the day I went out to the mall to enhance my self-image.
todays the day I boosted my confidence.
todays the day I smiled and made EC.
Tomorrow I will make an effort to approach women.


The site is great. Its a pleasure to be here. :)
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

yup, I felt that way when I first found this site. The whole notion of living life simply to better oneself was like a slap in the face for me: I had just never thought like that before.

It's always good to learn and realise that there's so much out there to learn still. It helps when you know the paths other people have taken because you can easily get lost. What I liked about finding this community was the fact I could safely follow other peoples paths, but it also gave me a safety harness for when I just wanted to wonder into the world by myself.

I think lots of people gain from this community.
