"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.

So i've improven much in the last few months. I became less shy and now im making connections with girls and my humor is finally coming out. Im happy with what i am doing but have much room for improvement. Here's a problem i have that I was hoping you guys could help me with.

I always wonder, basically stress, over what all of my friends are doing. It's like I have to know what is going on constantly or I feel like I'm missing out. I constantly feel like my friends are out having fun, when there is no proof and they are probably doing nothing special. How can i stop worrying and just be content with whatever I am doing?

P.S- I'm popular and have a lot of friends (I'm not a loser in any way, i just always feel like I could be having more fun, even when I am out.)
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

BUMP

Also, if you guys don't get what I mean, here's another example

When i go on vacation to somewhere far away with my family, i will text/call my friends every day to see what has been going on to make sure i didn't miss anything fun.

pills..........dude sounds like u needs sum meds.

Nothing wrong being kept in the loop but sounds like you get bored way too easily and have a short attention span. You can be comfortable with yourself..........hmmmm meds might help.
