"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.

Self Improvement is what life is all about. You must obtain a passion for your life and everything that it obtains. The moment you wake up is when the improvement starts. The funny thing is each and everyday you feel a little more confident and a little better. You must figure out what EXACTLY you want to improve and commit your life to it. An example of this is obtaining your dream career, improving your body and most importantly improving your social skills. A KEY lesson I have learned on social skills is not caring what people think about you. When you care what people think about you everything will be out of wack TRUST ME. I have lived most of my life caring what other people think and that is why I dont have huge divedends to show for it. When you care what people think you normally process NEGATIVE thoughts and expectations thus expressing these thoughts when you interact with the desired person. That is why it is so critical to not care what people think. Hope this helps and any contribution to my thoughts would be great. I love learning!
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

A lot of people say "Don't care what people think". I'll admit it's one of my biggest problems. However, saying that is like telling a depressed person to stop feeling upset. It really does nothing unless you tell someone exactly how to do it. Sh*t if I could just not care what people think, most of my problems would be solved. Know what I mean? I mean if you really wanted to give great advice it would be exactly how you stopped caring what people think.

Other than that I agree with your advice, it's just not anything we haven't heard before.
