"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.

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

EVERYGUY has approached at some time in his life. Some simply more than others, people are on this board reading and learning to try and improve. Sorry Mr SS, I guess its ONLY you who approaches?
A) I have nothing to do with SS.
B) The "approach posts" usually have something to do with "OMG! I'm frickin' out! How do I approach the most beautiful, angelic creature on Earth that works at the coffee shop? Every time I go up to the counter I turn into a spineless, stuttering slug and order something gay like the Fruit Mocha Latte with cherries. I'm not worthy! I'm not worthy! Someone tell me the magical phrase that'll make her want to jump my little boner! PUHLEAZE!!!"

****, we had a poll with almost 150 "DJs" about those who do approaches or even TRY to approach. Like I said, approximately half of the DJs CANNOT EVEN APPROACH and the other 25% approach but fear it.

The only way they're going to stop tripping over their feet is if they get into the field and force themselves to approach and socially interact with people. Again, back to the point of this thread, there are not near enough players or up-and-coming players.

Agreed! Even many of the so-called players on this site stoop to using internet dating and ending up seeing trolls cause they are too scared to approach in person.

This isn't the forum to ask that :D
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
