"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.

I've read that we as men tend to claim what we want as ours, and desire to protect it as an innate need. Saw that in myself today, some guy was trying to flirt with one of my plates and was just annoying her while she was trying to study. I didn't do anything because of the circumstance but I really wanted to go up to the guy and tell him to fvck off.

It got me thinking about how my plate would have seen that. The feminists would say she can handle herself, and maybe she'd see me indirectly taking ownership as being needy. I really don't know. Is this desire something I should repress or embrace?
 

"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.

It’s context-dependent, and it needs to be congruent with who you are as well. That’s the problem. You need to know when to display dominance and when not to give a ****. Only experience can truly teach you tonknow when to do what. And it needs to be in line with your character too. Otherwise people will think you’re just fronting and not respect you for it.
