"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 know this sounds like a ***** problem, but for some reason recently I’ve had a problem getting that phone number (the close if you will). I can carry that 10 min conversation, Kino, the works... It's just for some reason I can't seem to get the balls to close.

Ex. at the mall yesterday I gave up 2 opportunities

1. Cashier at a candle store (7-7.5/10), flirted with her for 5 min she asked me for my number (store thing to advertise), I joked back and forth how "she was coming onto me" and apon leaving I said if you want that's my cell you can call me on that sometime, and we can get together. (I know I’m an idiot)

2. Bath and body store, also a cashier (7.5/10), flirted with her for 10 min, did same thing (see a pattern here (damn defense mechanism)). (I need to get over this sh!t lol)

Anyone have any advice for me? For some reason I’m still AFC when it comes to asking for that number. Anything you guys can suggest for me getting over it?
:confused:
 

"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.

"Hey, you know what, I've really enjoyed talking to you and I had some more to say on this subject" Pull out your cell and hand it to her and continue with; "why don't you put your number in my cell and I will call you later to finish our conversation"

You can also add at the beginning "you seem like a really nice person that I would like to get to know" or something along that line.

end of problem

You want a quick fix but the root of your problem is you are just not being a MAN!!!

You are acting like a little boy who feels he need permission to "get" what he wants.

Not with just this but with every situation you face in life, grab you balls, man-up and just ask. Stop acting like a girl with the coy crap, Man are bold and daring you dig!!!!

lol good advice, but I don't have any problems putting my foot down and getting what I want, only for some reason problem with the phone close. if I'm at a club or something can still get the "let's get out of here" close just number close is somewhat difficult for me.

What this means is that you are not 100% clear that you are grown. What that means is as a grown a man you can do whatever the hell you want to. Get rid of the guilt feeling, or I need permission feeling most of us have a hard time shaking from our youth.

There is NOTHING WRONG with asking for her number. Realize that you have the right to do whatever the hell you want to (nothing criminally insane of course) as an adult so if you want to ask her for number there is nothing wrong with it. If you want to ask her back to your crib or her crib there is nothing wrong with that. Hell if you decide to be an ******* for the night that's your perogative.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Yuriy777 - You sound like a really cool and funny guy around women. By that you can also hold good conversations. For being such a cool ass guy don't you think other women deserve to get in on this fun time too? Right, so do these chicks a favor and tell them they should give you their number.
