True story. At Starbucks, this cop in uniform on duty first came up to me sitting, asking about my backup. Thought nothing of it.

She steps outside and a few minutes later, asks me more about the size, where on Amazon. Ok...interesting.

She steps out and comes back AGAIN, showing me her phone and what she's looking for. Clearly flirting.

With all the self improvement with confidence, anxiety, etc I did the ballsiest thing ever. I go outside to her in her cop car. I ask her to roll down the window and asked her out.

She said I have a boyfriend. I couldn't think of something witty in response, but I don't care. I won. I can't believe i did this.

Same night at the pool hall, this bartender who can't get her way with me made it clear that she's interested. We're going out.

Just a success story. Things get better, men. If I can do it, you can.
