"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.

A couple of years later I was on top of my world, proud to be an "a$$hole" and everyone was happier because I knew what was best for me, and the people around me.
Should you tell us more about how they are happy now when they weren't before?

When you've been on both sides, you know there is a better way.
“When you've been in both sides”: if you haven't been in both sides, you won't understand it.
This is the case because there are men who ask for advice, and you could laugh at this: inexperience.

What resources have you studied to become a new person, it would be interesting to know
