"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.

as the thread title says i took a look at myself after readin sumthin on here

"if you aint happy with urself how can u expect any 1 else to b"

so i sat down and made a list of long/short term goals...its pretty obvious really but ive put a few into action this last week or so...

i only set myself 3 for now but as soon as im into a routine with 1 or 2 ill add more.

1. Learn to drive - i realised that all my friends hav passed and/or nearly ready to take their test, when i havnt even started to learn...so i foned up a drivin instructor and booked sum lessons i intend to keep it up this time as last year i had 13 lessons then quit.

2 - Join a gym - I need something to do with myself, as a hobby past time so i decided to join a gym, i'm pretty skinny so i feel i need to bulk up as ive read sum threads on here and its basically bulk up and u get more attention

3 - Get new clothes - Some clothes i still wear I have had for abt 2 years, such as coats jackets etc. I always wear the same 3 or 4 hats. So i've decided that i'll buy new clothes, as i dont really feel comfortable any more in the style of clothes i wear.



I also intend to start the DJ boot camp as soon as i get into a rountine with the gym/drivin goals
 

"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.

Good luck, I'm sure all 3 things will increase the amount of attention you're getting.

Driving is crucial in my opinion, girls are shallow and having your own car/licence is worth 2-3 points on the looks scale to them.

Bulking up is also good, the feeling you get when someone compliments you on having toned muscles is worth every bit of the effort it took to get them and more!

As for clothing, yep also very important, just go for smart/casual, with a hint of originality and you'll get all the attention you want.

All the best
