"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.

Has anybody else out there seen this corny as hell, murder/mystery movie?

I think it has some awesome DJ sense to it, lying, deceit, tough love, burtal honesty, good story line. It gets predictable though since they give you soooo many chances to take a guess. Full of twists and turns that leave you waiting for more, but strangely wanting to laugh out loud at how easy it is to tell.

It's funny too, because it's true. You should check it out if nobody here has.
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

It was a great movie, smart and funny, murder suspense, and history of acting. If I told you what I though, would have to give out a *spoiler alert* what made you not think this movie was awesome. What'd you like about it? I'm watching it again tonight, I'll have more to say tomorrow, I was trying not to puke the whole movie, not because the movie was bad, but because I was half drunk and suffering from the flu.

I have seen it,its an ok movie.
Does nothing for me, except that you have seen it. Did you even care that you watched it? I hope you didn't think it was a waste of your precious time. There are some really good lessons to learn in the movie, can you share them with me? I can't share anything about it with you, I can barely remember it, I was laughing with the other people in the theater about parts of it too much.

Oh yeah, there were only 3 other people in the whole theater the whole time, so we just said **** it and told eachother jokes when we felt like it.
