"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'm new and confused (and my introduction)

Hello Gents,

This is my frist pots! =D

But I'm mightily confused by the lingo that you use here.

"LJBF"?
"A 9"?
"AFC"?

Can someone enlighten me please?

Edit: Well - I thought I'd offer a proper introduction:

I'm an AFC. I'll make no pretences about being otherwise. Lost my V plates at 20, longest relationship of any substance being 3 months. I've even driven 150 miles to get stood up on Valentine's Day.

I downloaded 'the book of pook' from another (unrelated to this) forum - the guy said it had helped him tonnes. So I sat down and read it over the course of a week or so. Then I realised. OMFG! I'm one of these 'Nice Guys' that were derided so much.

So, the first thing I did after that - I got a Gym membership, and started going at least twice a week (going again later tonight) - to get into shape. I have some weights at home that I'm actually using now too. Hopefully as I get into better shape my confidence will improve to the level where I'm actually making some worthwhile moves on attractive young ladies and succeeding!

Hey man, welcome to the forum,
LJBF stands for "Let's Just be Friends" and,
AFC for "Average Frustrated Chump"

Cheers

Thank you Daniel

Knowing what AFC means clarifies a lot!
