"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.

How much is too much? Sex, anticipation of sex, memory of sex seems to consume me and many others, hitting on girls at work, always looking for a way to get xyz hot girl that I see out in the world, trying to fvck as many girls from online as possible, etc.

Why are we incapable of monogamy? Should we act on all sexual desire? When is it natural and healthy and when is it compulsive and obsessive? I have previously struggled with other addictions (drugs, etc.) and fear I am now just trying to lose myself in the next delusion.

I guess it comes down to a lack of self control and/or self respect.

Thoughts?
 

"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.

It's part of human nature to never be happy with what you have for too long.

When you're single and messing around all over the place, you eventually catch yourself wishing for something meaningful.

When a meaningful thing falls apart, or lasts too long, you catch yourself wishing you didn't spend so much time being monogamous.

You're looking at things from a wrong perspective, if you want something you go get it, or at least try your best, that's just life. Is xyz behaviour normal? If it feels good and your life isn't falling apart because of it, I'm pretty sure it's normal.

My advice is think long and hard from a third person view about what you're doing with your days, your activities, your personality and interests, and whether most people would be envious of them. If they would, you're doing better than most and you should appreciate that dude.
