"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.

have you ever noticed on myspace profiles how some of these girls who think they're the sh*t set up their profiles so that it in a subliminal way radiates that message? i was just browsing and landed on several "cool/hip girls" myspaces who barely write about themselves, seem to be into all the "hip" music/movies/clothing/lifestyle without being extravagent with expenses and i must say their online persona made me feel a bit intimidated. as i shook it off i pictured these girls in real life and how theyd probably be shy/timid unless they were holding a drink as to loosen them up.

i'm just curious, has anyone else here felt a bit of intimidation from a girl's online profile? almost like they knew EVERYTHING that was "happening" and you should play catch up to get with them. why is this??
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Sounds a bit like my profile really. I've just got a funny video, a song i like and a brief list of interests on the side. No 'about me' or anything. I wouldn't have thought it was intimidating though..

You got any examples like you've mentioned?

"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.
