"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.

Ah, man, it's been a long time since I've posted any tips here. I've been busy with my life. It's like you go through something bad, and you get on this site and search for answers. As soon as you feel better, you start to apply what you've learned and see great successes. So, here's the deal. I want to share with you something very important.

Make your move

Think about it. What do you have to lose? Really? The only thing you have to lose is that moment where you had a chance to make your move. You guys come here wanting tactics and strategies, but you've forgotten about the most important one of them all. Making your move.

How hard have you tried before you came complaining you can't get tail? Look at the guys getting some and look at yourself. What's the difference? I know one difference. They made a move.

If you can get yourself motivated to make your move on women or just even one woman in general, you'll start to notice things about yourself. You'll start to adjust, recalculate, coordinate, stylize, change, and grow.

Seriously, if you'll get off your ass and start to make some moves, your life will change. Too many men crawl up into the fetal position and quit. They cry they can't figure it out. What's to figure out besides getting out there and actually trying, adjusting, and calibrating into that guy who not only tries, but finds success?

The man that makes a move eventually gets some tail, believe it or not.

MAKE YOUR MOVE!!!

This post is purely motivational.

"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.

Rings absolutely true for me.

Although this one should be a no-brainer, my guess is that it is true for most of the guys here.

There are so many famous quotes or threads on SS about this particular issue it seems that people often forget to apply the advice they get here ( like me ).

The fear of failure or rejection is often big, but regretting missed opportunities and wasted time hurts even more in the long run. I can tell.

This is where you have to rethink the issue. You have to tell yourself that if you approach she may like you. You have to look at the bright side.

"If I go talk to this girl, she may like me"

NOT

"If I go talk to this girl, she may not like me"

Look at what you could have and not what you may not get. You never know. I've had girls really into me when I never thought they would be. Motivate yourself by thinking of how amazing things could be.

Don't attach negative consequences to approaching women in your mind.

Attach good thoughts like she might like your hair, your personality, or your style.

here's my take on this boys...

personally i've come to the realization that far greater than any quick pain that might come from rejection, the slow and dull pain of regret is much more agonizing

i'd rather a woman spit in my face than defeat myself by not even trying and having to say to myself, "i could have, would have, should have"

approaching women and all other forms of stepping out of your comfort zone can be the best way in the whole wide world of completely avoiding the series of small regrets that make up most people's lives
 

"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.
