"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.

and i was wondering something. i've already pretty much made up my mind but i'd like some input. how AFC is it to MAKE a present for an ltr? not like something dumb but something really nice. i feel like it would work with the foundation i've laid here. like this girl is really sweet and nice and is always so appreciative of complements (that she's earned) and that leads me to believe that i'll be glorified for doing something sweet like that. what do you guys think?
 

"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.

Go for it mate. If your in a ltr then your allowed to do all that sweet, lovey dovey crap without being AFC. It generally increases their interest for you in a ltr. The reason it doesn't when your not in an ltr with them is because it comes across as needy, because they havn't done anything to deserve it. You have no reason to show you love them. With an ltr you do.
