"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.

That night had a very positive and uplifting effect on my life. I can't even begin to explain. We definitely need to do this more often! You guys really give a whole new definition to greatness. I mean it.

Awesome stuff.

Put a bunch of gold rings on his fingers, gold chain around his neck, gel in the hair and sunglasses and he'd be stylin.

Too bad I don't have photoshop or I'd make the picture into some kind of KarmaSutra rap album cover.


lol thanks. When I was about 35 lbs slimmer and had over 2 1/2 feet of hair people would say I had a resemblance to celebrities like Troy Polamalu or Sean Paul. I guess I could pull off looks like those. I feel more like myself like that anyways.
 

"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.
