"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 want to take a seminar or two this summer for enrichment. Also, to have more of a social life obviously. I'm kind of a workaholic by nature, so in the past year or so, I haven't gone out much. But the past few days, in seeking out a seminar I like, I've been meeting lots of people.

Actually four girls have approached in just the past two days, and many more are staring or just standing nearby, waiting for me to speak to them.

This is really surprising to me as I have not been hitting the gym as hard as in years past, and my belly is slightly doughy as a result. I'm working out more now, but still.

I recommend everyone get an active social life whether it's volunteering taking classes, playing sports, or whatever. You are bound to meet people. And those people will know other people and so on. It's very easy to network, and it's expected.

I think this is a much better long term strategy as opposed to cold approaching. I'm not opposed to cold approaching but depending upon your personality and your social environment, creating enduring networks may be much more valuable in the long term.
 

"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.
