"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.

Today I was at work ... in my stupid Tim Hortons uniform (Probably the least flattering thing a man could wear) When the girl who i've been working on for the last week comes in. She was with a guy who I know if going after her too. She gets to the counter, her and i joke around, then I decide to do the most ballsy thing ever (My two co-workers, both female, we're absolutely amazed when I did this and told me that I am one of the most courageous guys they know)

I asked her out. Infront of a guy who took her to the carnival, infront of a guy who has been trying to get with her for the past 2 months, I asked her out. I said "You're free Tuesday right? Good, Amikara (Japanese restaruant I'm taking her to since I know shes never had Japanese food before) for Lunch, I'll pick you up at 1".

She was like yeah, definitely, the guy just looked pissed, but hey, he should have taken his chance.

My co-workers, like I said, couldn't believe that I did what I did, and sure, i asked her out wearing the dorkiest thing I could, but I'm damn proud of myself for that.
 

"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.

Nice mate,

I had the wrong impression of "Ballsy".

Yesterday afternoon a group of asians were having a dance off, there was like 100 people gathered around, half chicks and I walk in (Not knowing how to dance at all) and drop my pants.

Then did that 70s move popularized by John Travolta.

You know, where you point your hands up in the air? Ahh ah ah ah staying alive stayin alive, ah ah ah ah stayin aliiiiiiiiiiiiveeee.

:)
 

"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.

thankyou, and its funny, because 2 months ago I would have been afraid to even talk to a girl like her, but I realized (thanks in no small part to this site) there is no harm in trying, and its better to do and get rejected then not try at all. So I'm not longer even gettin nervous when I ask women for their numbers and that.
