"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.

Iv'e read posts here and many other sites saying women might find you wierd if you try and chat them up when your alone and not with mates (lack of social value). The only problem with that is all my mates (most who I only see in college) all live miles away so I have no choice but to go out on my own to a club or bar. Thats if I choose to go out. This is the same situation when I go away on holiday abroad. At night I have to go on my own to the clubs. Does anyone else do this? Iv'e tried to make other friends at my local gym, but whenever I go it's pratically empty and only have middle aged 40 year olds, in my local pub there all mid 30-40 year old couples as well which does not help either. I guess forcing myself to talk to people when Im on my own with give me more confidence. I suppose like many here will agree being a virign kinda sucks, I just turned 21 last month so I still have years left to lose my virginity I guess.
 

"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 go out clubbing with 1 of my best mates, large groups (4+) tend to kill the energy level for me which effects my sarging heaps.

Me and my high social proof friend can just go out and have an awesome time with or without girls, and they usually sense this somehow.

It takes alot of skill/guts to pull off approaches in a club completely on your own, i'v failed at it a few times pretty hard.
