The forgotten button

"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.

I'm mainly a person who lurks around the health and fitness forum these days. I browse about the others, but I leave the people who know their stuff better than me to give all the answers etc...

But what the hell... does the latest patch/upgrade for Internet Explorer block the search button from loading up, because recently things have got on the same newbie track that people ALWAYS go down.

I dont know if theres much anyone can do about it, but it's something that's begun to tick me off a bit as of late.

rant over ^^
