"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.

I was wondering how do you related to girls as friends. I am not talking the "friend zone" but to make it a point to have female friends. Even if they are very hot it is a networking numbers game. You meet their friends etc etc. I find it difficult to meet female friends yet have no problem with male friends. I have no idea what to do with these female friends or talk to them about. So how do you all go about with female friends?? Thanks a lot guys
 

"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.

The reason why you dont have female friends is because women intimidate you. Am i right? Or at least you feel nervous around them. If you're comfortable around women, then you should have no problem having female friends and you wouldn't even be asking what are the things u should do with them, or what to talk about when you are with them.

I used to be shy around girls. I then started forcing myself to talk to them in the same way as when talking to guys. This has helped a lot.

Ask girls to go clubbing with you. If u dont like clubs, invite them to a place where u like going and think they would also enjoy. Invite them along with some of your good buddies, so you dont feel awkward just with the girl (again, i am still assuming that you are shy with girls).

Talk with girls as often as you can. The more u talk to them, the more u get used to them. Talk about stuff you both like, so the discussion flows.

Those were just some thoughts. If u need more specific help, shoot!

When you have a girlfriend, there is no need for girl-friends. Hang out with your male buddies, do manly stuff like watch sports, play sports, play pool etc. Keep the spot reserved for 'friends' to your pals.

It ain't healthy to just hang out with 1 group. So if you don't have a girlfriend and you only hang out with guys, that is obviously bad. If you have a girlfriend and then you hang out with only your female friends, it ain't good. Try to keep a balance for your own sanity! the balance kept by most healthy people is when you hang out with someone other than your gf, it is usually your buddies.
