"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.

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

Out did James Bond? Me thinks not.

Saw him training with Lee on video. Hands totally fvcked with arthritis, cool bloke though.
Have you seen the "Flint" movies?

BTW, Coburn overcame his arthritis by using Glucosamine and MSM

Yeah, too Bond like. Hard to see them in isolation.

I've seen most of his films, very underated actor. Strangely, apart from The Seven, the best film I saw him in, he was a pick pocket.

Can't remember what it was called, good plot with twists and turns.
