"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.

Times are kinda funky for me right now.

The good news:

I passed the 2nd schoolyear. Only 2 more years and I can be a civil engineer.

The bad news:

I'm broke. I run through money fast. I can spend $1000 in 1 week.
I have been drinking WAY too much since the schoolyear finished. I'm also losing face with the personnel in the bar, which sucks because there is a nice babe working there.
I'm not hitting the gym as frequently as I should.
I have no plates.
My brother got admitted to a mental hospital again.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

WOW. So,you're.....

Broke...
Can blow through a thousand dollars a week on NOTHING...
You drink too much...
Stopped going to the gym and exercising...
And you have a loved one who just recently got admitted to a mental hospital...


ALL THAT.....yet the title of this thread is,"My inner game is a little off." Hmmm.

You know....with ALL THAT going on in your life right now.....maybe inner game shouldn't be your top priority at the moment.


Just sayin'.

ya.

Well the plus side of being broke is that I can work on myself instead of spending cash.

I can practice playing guitar, clean the house, hit the gym, find a job and work on getting my driver's license.

Inner game ain't unimportant by the way. There's no way to get through life if your inner game isn't positive. When I do look at things summarized that way though, I do think I'm ultimately doing fine.

And taking a time off from drinking will do me good as well.
