"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.

Over the past six months I have been rather lazy and having plans but not putting them into action.

In college i have also been doing the bare minimum to get good enough grades to pass the semester.

The only thing I have been disciplined with for the last 6 months was my workout routine. I don't what it is, sometimes I have great ideas but fail to put them into action because of a lack of determination.

One thing is for sure that I have not found my real passion yet. Nothing i have done for now i put 110% into it, and sometimes I get the impression I am lacking the will to beat someone/something.

Any suggestions ?
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Think about 10 years from now. Do you want to look back and think that you didn't do everything you could to have a successful life?
