"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.

I needed to get some experience in my profession. As a general consensus, everyone goes into managing male sports teams as that's the most common scenario. I've gone back to my local club initially more so to get back to hanging with the guys and get back into training (these guys regardless of myself, accept me for who I am).

Thing is, their female team equivalent ended up looking for a manager and I put my hand up and got the position. Thing is I feel the general consensus around my class cohort is that everyone is taking the piss out of me (I'm your typical ladies flirt so 'how are we not surprised you're now working with a woman's sports team' is the underlying tone of what I get from everyone).

Yes I know in all honesty this should not affect me but I am not sure if I've missed anything. I've never been part of the 'boys club' regardless of how hard I've tried to 'fit in'. Ironically, it's the boys club that I've always tried to fit in yet I've never grasped it.

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

Don't hit on any of the girls

I agree. That's a recipe for trouble. Don't even flirt; there's too much of a chance of it coming off as harassment.

*After* your tenure of employment, fvck all of them you want to. It should be easy if you never hit on them when you were the coach.
