"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.

Theres this girl that I've been doing stuff with since december. Everything was going good until a few weeks ago. Her parents don't want her to be with me anymore, because I'm 3 years older than her. I dont know what happened, they were always nice to me and everything, but all of a sudden they wont even let her leave the house because they dont want her seeing me. Is there anything I could try doing so we can start seeing eachother again, or am I pretty much screwed?
 

"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.

NO, you are not screwed, she is screwed! Its not surprising her parents do that, you are 3 years older and they think you are going to fukk her every SINGLE day. YOu can try talking to her parents, if you have guts to do that. Or you can NEXT her, or you can hangout after school, or she can tell lies to her parents that she found boyfriend her age.. Or you can call her and think of something with her! GOOD LUCK :)

I'd talk to her parents for sure. You don't need to try to convince them of anything. I'd just ask them what was up, and if you've done anything that makes them not trust you anymore. Depending on their answer, decide on your next course of action. Good luck to you!
