"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.

Alright i tried to do it the most non-assholish way but... they wouldn't leave me alone... I'll try again 2morrow. You guys are so lucky having problems getting friends. I mean you don't seem like an ******* when you get friends but soon as you try to lose them then they pull the ******* card.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

You BUY the relationship, NOT build one pook's reiteration of AD's machine.

Your playing both roles in the subject. You are the man calling the b!tch shots, as well as the man calling NEXT.

You have the pick of the litter my friend, time to choose your friends. The battle has not yet begun.

Good luck. You must be strong, you must stop acting the whiny b!tch all my friends keep saying hi to me technique. We don't like it here, we call it AFC.

PS to crossboss. I was the quiet kid who read newspapers(or tried to) as a kid. Never really had friends, picked on everyday and beatup every other. I was an ultimate AFC. Went through higschool being among the top 3 losers to ever set foot on the ground of cool. I was the guy who sympathized with the worst of the AFC's got wrapped up with the scam artists, and totally supplicated to everything my parents taught me. I started rebelling when I found video games, skipped school a few times to go play them(damn did my heart beat back than, wish I could go back to that innocence).

Than one day my oneitis committed suicide. Been an aspiring DJ since.

Tell me the situation, what were you doing and what where they doing. You need to tell me all of the details so I can tell you what you need to do.

Your friend,
