"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.

Hello to everyone, first time post, long time reader. I have been hanging out with my current friends for a long time now, 2-3 years. I recently got out of high school and currently looking for work now. My "friends" have no drive in life, selffish, always dependent on other people... and so on, but I'm not here to complain. Can you guys here give me some options on good places to meet quality people, people that have ambition.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

I goto university now and theres plenty of people here with ambition.

My advice to you, based on personal experience is to seek post-secondary education. Most of the people in there have plans for the future, or at least know that they want to be doing something special. Besides you'll meet a LOT of people, some of them are bound to click with you.

Scan places where people show common interest with what you have interest in. If you enjoy drawing, painting, etc... goto an Art Museum. Like skiing? Go hit the slopes. There are many options. You just need to look what you have a passion for, and find others that follow.

red0devil, i know how you feel, i still hang out with those guys once in awhile when im bored. But as you said, they truly have no ambition/drive in life and are doing the exact same things they've been doing since h.s. except now theyre in college...
Unemployed and have not met any new friends on their own.

The places where you'll find ambitious ppl or ppl similar to you is mostly in college, or networking gatherings...such as job fairs.

I dont know if im being too mature or ambitious at my age but i still believe it's good to plan ahead. A lot of my close friends i talk to are ambitious and running their own lives, which i've met from my college. They're in their 20's and possibly 30's but i respect them and they respect me.

A lot of ppl in my age group are still like kids and waste their time, which mostly are unamitious or ppl who dont "get out there" and push their potential. that's why i find it hard to click with them because my mindset is that of a guy in his 20's.

as they say ..."alike minds meet in alike places"
