"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 am 29 years old and have always been pursuing Acting since I was a Kid. Was always told I was extremely funny and have booked a lot of projects when I was younger. Now at 29 I have the opportunity to work for a Firm and potentially re-direct that on camera "gift of gab" and make a lot of money.

I just can't get into the groove. I honestly never wanted to do anything else but be a Comedian and over the past year I realized the entertainment industry is not going to bring in the income for the things that I want to do.

I already have the job, in two months working. I like it, but it is all real estate law, mortgages, cap rates etc. Things that bore me to death but I realize I have a talent for meeting new people and getting them to trust me and get deals done.

Then you look at people on Instagram like Dan Balzarian (however he spells it) and I think man..why can't I be doing that right now lol.

Could really use some help..I am mentally at a low point right now. Thank you!
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

if you're that old and have no idea what you enjoy, you're in a bad way. Why would you gaf what other people 'think". Do what YOU like! I never found a damned thing that I wanted to do that paid jack Squat. So I set up something that pays well and I don't have to bother with it at all (now, after several years of startup hassles.) It wasn't that bad, just supervising a bunch of weekly tenants until I got enough such buildings going to pay for a property management company to do the checking on my building managers. Once you have adequate assured income, go do whatever you wish, secure in the knowledge that your avocation need not make you any profit at all.

Pursue acting on the side and try to build your brand online. There's no reason to give up your passion. Work your job, live minimally, pay your debts, save up enough. Then quit and devout more time to acting.

When you start to get low on money, pick up another job. You're 29. I'd say you have until you're 35 to get a break or something. If you dont land something by then, its time to try something else.

A lot of people will tell you to "abandon your pipe dream" but we only live once. So it makes no sense why you wouldn't pursue something you love and good at at all costs.
