"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

...because I lost my job. And I gotta say, while my prospects for finding another one in my field at my current pay in my current area are dim, I've never felt better. I didn't realize how much I hated that place until I was free of it. Now I am going to have to scramble. I have some savings and some money coming that should get me through the next 3-4 months, I've paid off all of my debts except for my car and student loans, and my side business has been picking up tremendously. I also landed a part time job with a friend at his business. I'm kinda scared but it feels good too, I really hated that place. The constant worry over getting fired and the nonexistent raises and advancements got old after 6 years. Not to mention the clueless, overbearing, preeening and corrupt management.

How does this relate to women? Well for one...everyone has been talking about how happy I seem. I've had a swagger in my step knowing that I'm moving on. I was at the bank sorting out somethings on my business account and got a date with the chic who was helping me. This after I tell her I just lost my job and she can see I have 200 bucks in my business account. Why? Because I'm hungry, I'm feeling ambitious again, and I think people can sense that. I know things are going to work out. I have plans B. C.and D. lined up. None of them are terrible, just slightly uncomfortable.

Anyway, see you guys around. I gotta get a lot done in the next two months.
 

"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.

Inside her mind
I wish I had that mentality when I first lost my job, it would have saved me through the depression and lack of motivation, great post!
 

"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.
