"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.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Yeah getting one with a respectable background in bodybuilding/powerlifting is your best bet. Nothing can replace a good mentor.
