"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 started tracking how many hours I sleep so seeing as I spend over 1/3 of my life sleeping, anyway, I might as will live the moments I'm awake to the fullest.

Always be productive. Working on house flipping or whatever. Trying new things. Meeting new people. Being less selfish. Trying to smile. Make some friends.

Enough of this being shy stuff. Plus, am I really shy? I don't think so. It just comes across that way in person. I'm obviously at least partially psychotic haha. And I can't be a psycho creep in person because it's not appropriate. But Idk. Try new things.

Maybe try to get by with less sleep. I'm going to die some day, anyway. Probably not any time soon, but you never know.

Plus, I'm obviously not shy. I can have conversations online all day long, but have trouble in person for some reason.

"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 one

my only escape mechanisms are browsing sosuave and other boards, or listening to music. i listen to music while I work, so thats not escape mechanism. SS also contains a lot of value, so its not escape mechanism either

another escape mechanism is online dating but sometimes i get something out of it, so not bad
