"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.

Do you envy people for achieving more than you have? Do you envy people for having something more than you have? Do you envy people for having a beautiful woman or a fast sports car? Do you envy at all? I know you do, everyone does. Don't try to tell me that you don't envy people. You envy even if you don't realize that you envy. But you see, envy is that crappy feeling which turnes you into sleeze, envy turns you into slime, and by envying someone you become worth than them. Because you can only envy someone if they are better than you. With time your feeling of envy turns you inferiour of the people that you envy, and you become absolutely worthless, you become nothing. You seen people that smell and stink and have no life and are not successful at all, and some of us even wondered how one can be like that. Well things are simple, those people envied someone, and they turned like that. Because if you envy someone that means you acknowledge somewhere in your subconsciousness that are infireor!

Here is an anonymous poll for you, to keep things flowing. Why deny the truth yourself? Vote yes, you did and do envy people.
 

"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.

Right behind you
Envy is fine, nothing wrong with that. But jealousy is evil sh!t right there.

Know the diff if you don't.

Everyone does NOT envy. Some of us admire what others have done with their life. We may not have it, but if we want it we will work hard to get it. You gain nothing by envying someone.

I don't have these bad feelings of envy. It's not part of my style, but I know that many do.

They don't have to be "better" than you, they can have something that you currently do not have.

That's why it's a waste of time to envy. Envy blocks your blessings, unless it motivates you to steal what someone has. I personally think it's a waste of time.
