"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 know this sounds like a very limitig way of looking at things,but is that ever true? With anything? I feel like everything and everyone else is going by and moving ahead in life,is more experienced,confident,attractive,etc, and I am just sitting here watching things go by. It is an awful feeling and I feel is messing with my own sense of reality. I see things in a negative light,and often have this disdain for people,esp women,seeing them as childish idiots sometimes even.
 

"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.

Not quite sure on the wording but there's this saying I heard somewhere: "No matter how long you've walked the wrong road, it's never too late to turn around."

So no it's never too late. It may be too late for oppurtunities that have already passed, but it's never too late to improve your own life.

You think you're just sitting and watching life go by? Well maybe you are. You want some tough love? If you want to see the problem go look in the mirror. I don't mean your looks, your hair, your height, your bank account.... I mean you. Get off your a@@ and take control of your life. Any little step towards progress will help you feel better. Quit looking down on others when it's yourself that you really don't like. Get out there and fall in love with yourself again.

If you're unhappy with your life it's no one elses fault but your own

I found this quote a while back.

“Don't wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect. There will always be challenges, obstacles and less than perfect conditions. So what. Get started now. With each step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more self-confident and more and more successful.” Mark Victor Hansen
