"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.

Question about the friend zone

"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.

@mrgoodstuff I think you're right. But I was drinking to get myself in the mood. I think her little games are really putting me off.
This can be a reason, drinking also can kill the sex drive.
If she play games id show her how i play games by Nexting her.

Still Next is the best way to go

@lamath I always in the mood when I drink. I think the lies. Her family. Her friends. The mess. Etc: now the male friend. Her complaining about me to her friends which I know there telling her to ditch me has taken it's toll on me.

You make it sound so easy, it won't be like that for every guy
When it comes to banging girls you are "friends" with:

I think that if you enjoy her friendship/company, and also happen to want to bang her, that's okay.
But if you are her friend and you think you love her, that's a toxic situation.
 

"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.
