"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.

Im 20 years old (student) and I dont drive yet, I will be driving withing the next 3-4 months though.

I never got it for a variety of reasons, long story, doesnt matter anymore, its in the past.

Well, my problem is that I have always, ALWAYS sabotaged my chance with girls because of my insecurities, mainly because of the fact that I didnt drive.
I've stressed over it big time over the past year-and-a-half (from coming to this site I improved myself significantly in the other areas of my life).
So lately I have felt im finally ready to start dating or whatever, actually Trying to (before in never really tried to).
However, the whole not-driving-a-car thing really gets to me, so... my question is How important is it REALLY for a guy to drive?
I know its really important as it shows more about you then just being a driver...it has a slightly deeper meaning.
Im just asking this stuff from the point-of-view of young people..not like dudes in their 20 somethings that consider having a car a given.
(I recently 'hungout' with some chick that liked me, and she drove both times we whent out to chill...she picked me up and dropped me off :crackup: :p ...felt...****ed up

I just want some opinions on the matter, about cars/driving...
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

are you talking about having a car and driving it, or just simply having a license?

driving you around doesnt automatically make you her *****, grow up. If it makes you feel better, date someone that doesnt have a car.

I live in the city and most of the ppl i know dont even have cars, cause of mass transportation alternatives there's really no need for it. But i do have a license which already is a instant plus

Not so much the act of driving or personally owning a car (can drive parents car/one of), but more the having your license-having the option to drive.

It matters to you.

Get that license/car, and get it over with. That question you asked.. about how really important it is... do you really dont know the answer?
 

"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'm not sure of what the laws are in Canada, but here in the US you can get your license at 16 (15 in some states) if you've taken driver's education. If you haven't, you can get it at 18. What's holding you back from just walking into the DMV office and taking the test on a day you don't have classes?

By the way, check out the following links related to driving:
