"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 have just recently gotten out of a 2 year relationship and really am lacking in the confidence area right now. anyways, i went into a best buy and this girl which i will say is an 8 checked me out and starting talking to me. she asked if i wanted to try 8 free issues of some magazine and i said no thank you. i pull out my best buy card to pay for the cd and she says i see you have a best buy card. i said yeah and it's just about maxed out. she asked to see my id and i told her that that really was me in the picture, that i just recently cut my hair. so she starts asking me all these questions about my hair and stuff like did i blow dry it since it was long and i said yeah since my hair was so thick. anyways i was working my way up to either asking her out or asking for her number. didn't really know which one would have been better to do. anyways a rather large family came to her line since she was the only one checking out and i never asked either. my question is do you guys think i stilll have a chance at either. i planned on going in there today to see if she was working. could use a little help with the approach. Thanks.
 

"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.

DO NOT GO BACK TODAY WITH THE PURPOSE OF GETTING HER NUMBER. That seems way too desperate. If you go in with another purpose, maybe to buy something, and she just HAPPENS to be there, should be no harm in trying again.

i wasn't going to go in there for the sole purpose of asking for her number or asking her out. i was planning on buying a cd and then if she was working going to her line and saying something like hey remember me, i'm the one who used to blow dry his hair. and then going from there. sound ok?

dont say "hey remember me?" it makes you sound really insecure. Just go up to her and talk like she remembers you. Like "Hey how are you today?" make small talk, get number and leave.
