"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 a self-confessed chronic procastinator, I always find myself thinking this. I delay things that are important or that I want to achieve. I'm optimistic - I really do think that I can make the best of my life and truely do great things If I put my mind to it.

However, the problem seems to be, and I have seen this elsewhere on the board, that:

It is easier to do nothing than to make a change for the good.

In my life I am always given the choice of two paths and I'd always rather take the easy route than the hard one, I always seem to end up back where I started, even more irritated that I have yet to achieve something despite my, or lack of, efforts.

My question is, have any other prospective DJ's out there found themselves thinking along the same routes and if so, how did they slay this mentality once and for all?

"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.

Started powerlifting. It also trains discipline and a strong mind.

As a bonus, the testosterone you create is like a drug for motivation.

All the great DJ's on this site recommend it (Pook, A-Unit, DIESEL)

I'm afraid that, for me, that really isnt an option.

I live far far out in the countryside, not by my own choice I might add, the nearest corner shop is two miles away and the nearest gym is about twenty. Due to this and the fact that dont yet know how to drive this also creates a bit of a social problem that for the last 6 years of my life has been a nightmare to overcome. At the moment I dont have a job and even if I wanted to buy weights etc - I dont have the money or am well enough situated to find a job for things like protein shakes and equipment.

I'm building up to some very important exams at the moment and I find that I dont really have any desire to perform or excel as I know I am able to - I'm continually falling asleep or being led astray by my desire to do something that is just easier to do.

I know I can do better. Any other advice? :)
