I'm in my mid twenties and I've never been on a date. I battled with social anxiety and eventually overcame it. Right now I work fulltime and there are no women in my life. My confidence is running on one cylinder and I'm not sure how to kick start it given my dismal dating record.

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.
Never had a love life...
