"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 don't know this guy personally, but he lives near me, and we know some of the same people.

Knuckle Junkies just wrote an article about him that is a good read. I like the part where he mentions the other patients he meets at chemo. It's easy to feel sorry for yourself, until you meet a little kid with a brain tumor, and that will give a new perspective to anyone, no matter how bad your luck seems.

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Updates from facebook - AJ ended his chemo four weeks ago. The doctors told him his health would take a while to recover, and he would certainly never fight again. He nodded his head in agreement, and then went straight to the gym to get back to training. He competed in a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu tournament this past weekend and took third in the blue belt division. He won two matches and lost one. He's p!ssed that he didn't do better. His motivation and attitude are very impressive to me.
