"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.

There’s this woman from work that I want to **** and she wants to **** but i get nervous to invite her to my place. I dread her coming over and when the time comes i can’t perform. Everytime that happens it’s such an awkward feeling. Is this normal or is there anyway I can get over this? This has always happened throughout my 20s. After I get comfortable with a girl it doesn’t happen anymore but every new girl it happens. I feel like I’m getting too old for this to keep happening. Once a woman comes over sex is pretty much expected.
 

"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 fear you're experiencing is generated by the more cagey aspect of your psyche, which recognizes:

"Bedding my colleagues is more suicidal than walking into The BET Hip Awards, disguised as Nick Fuentes"
