"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.

My friend and I went out last night. And after 45 minutes of literally being paralyzed by fear, I managed to open a set!! (In the end, I had to bet my friend £5 that I could open the first one before him, and it STILL took us ages to actually do it)

All in all I managed 8 cold approaches. About half that were receptive and chatty. Funny thing, none of the girls were the sort that either myself or my friend would actually want to sleep with, yet we were still terrified.

Another funny thing - and this was the big insight - once I started approaching, I felt terrific. The more I approached (and got blown off), the better I felt. And even though I ended last night alone in my bed masturbating, it felt magnificent.

10 / 100 cold approaches for 2016 done :)
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

It's easy to mock people's perceived failure when you don't have the courage to do it yourself.

Even if I get blown off I don't see that as Failure. It's success of sorts.

Great work OP- You overcame Fear. You won't always go away with a number or a lay but you're doing something that if you continue to do it will improve your confidence.

How liberating is it to finally be free of fear? You feel you can fly. Remember that feeling. Fear is a prison we create in our own minds.
