"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.

When working, do you all take true breaks?

I'm sure that all of us here on Sosuave are here on a Self-Improvement regimen of some sorts. Combine that with our normal day to day jobs, and it's a lot to handle. We eventually get tired from that.

So my question to you all is, when you take breaks do you make sure it's tied to your self improvement regimen? Therefore you'd be "working" 24/7? For example, when you're exhausted, do you play a video game or watch a movie? Or do you make sure you only relax by doing things like hitting the gym, or investing in your hobbies?

I ask because I'm wondering if I would be considered lazy by taking half a day off sometimes and not really working on my passions. What do you all do?
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

You have to rest at sometime. Even God rested on the 7th day.

Rest is great.

The key to always working is to find hobbies that either make money or build skills in other areas of your life.

For example, women make me better at sales. Chess makes me better at strategizing. Playing blackjack (I count cards) improves memory, arithmetic, and quells my risk taking and competitive tendencies. Exercise gives the mind a break. Cooking improves my health and gives the both the body and mind a break. Reading expands knowledge.

I rarely veg out in any capacity. Forums are sort of my “rest” but in all phases of life I’m striving to move forward. Find different things you love and cycle them. That way you’re never too tired in any one area.

"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.

I realize this is a late reply but this is a great answer, pretty much exactly what I’m gonna need to do to succeed in my life
