"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.

What do you fellas recommend. Can't get too much, gets expensive. I'm gonna get a pull/chin up bar with dip handles. I can do pushups anywhere. Maybe a few dumbbells? I'm not sure about the weight.

I may get some of those rubber bands or something. Any ideas?

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

buy an indoor pool and put a squat rack on the bottom of it, youll probably need some scuba equipment too. less strain on the knees.

otherwise go buy a gym membership, it will cost you the same amount of money for a 2 year membership then what you will spend on a worthwhile home gym that you''ll get anything out of. I learned this the hard way unfortunately.

perhaps you could start small and buy equipment one piece at a time as you can afford it.
i would start with something that i would use the most, in case i never had the money to invest into everything i ever wanted.
