"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.

Not long ago I posted a thread in which I discussed hitting rock bottom all around.

After a long time of wallowing in clinical depression, unemployment, self-destructive behavior/obesity, laziness, and complete AFCdom, I've decided I'm sick of all this sh!t. It's time to make some moves. After much searching, I finally found a job that is convenient for me and doesn't pay too shabby. That's the pillar of it all. From there, I will afford the renewal of my gym membership which went unused FAR too long, a strict diet and exercise routine, and as that falls into place, there will be new wardrobe and the "fat clothes" will be ditched. From there, it's on to DJ boot camp, getting out there, and working on my game to get some female action. It's not going to be easy, but nothing worthwhile in life ever is. However, I'm not just going to do things based on meeting and attracting women, either. I'm also back into composing and playing music on a serious level, with plans to play live again...this has been a passion of mine for most of my life. It's one of the things that made me feel the most alive and excited, and I can't believe I let that part of me just slow down and sit still for so long. I also plan on taking up martial arts when I'm in good enough shape.

I'm through phukking around. Life begins here.
 

"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.

good luck

Good luck. I've been working on recovering my life over the last year (one year ago I was clinically depressed and suicidal). It's slow going, but it steadily gets better.
You can do it :cool:
