"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.

There are different issues in life. This reasoning is a bit absurd.

I find it hard to take any consolation on the idea that people are dying every day to make me feel better about anything that may have made me feel bad during the day. Just like it's difficult to take consolation on the idea that the economy is failing. It's really weak.

So, is this your idea of "inner game". Gee, I'm going to think that people are dying every day and the economy is failing -- great, I'm all psyched up, let me approach this girl and talk to her, hey if she rejects me, she'll die too because we all have to die sometime.

Don't you think this is a bit sick?
I think that the end is laudable - maybe the means just doesn't work for you. It seems to me that the end is to have perspective on life, to have an appropriate understanding of the importance of women, to recall that many of us live a life of luxury compared to our brothers and sisters nearby and in other parts of the globe, to feel grateful - as all people should - for the beautiful world around us.

So maybe the means (remembering that we're in an economic crisis) doesn't work for you. But will the goal, appreciating our wonderful life, help you with women? Of course!!!

Any reason to disagree?

"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.
