"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.

Ok, My friend Office Jim was in the cafe last friday because it was Kosher Friday, and believe me the food is awesome. They were offering different drinks and such with every meal. My buddy Office Jim had a to do a presentation later that after noon so he had a little to much of his pre-game scotch and was slurring his words a little bit.

When he got to the front of the line and the cashier asked if he'd like Apple or Orange Juice, he slurred "No I don't like the juice." Some of our coworkers filed a complaint about it, now he might get canned.

I didn't tell anyone what he actually said, because one time he told me how much he hates the Mexicans.

How should I let my boss know that I want his job?
 

"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.

You call this guy a friend... he might get fired and you're worried about taking his job...

Wouldn't wish a friend like you on anyone.
