Recently a friend of mine approached a girl in Manhattan. They were vibing and getting along and when he suggested that they meet up for coffee during the week she said yea and to take down her number. Turns out he already had it. He had approached her a year earlier and gotten her number but when he texted her she never responded. This time however they ended up going out on that date.

I'm sure multiple factors could be in play, maybe a year ago she was busy and forgot to respond, but I've noticed similar things happen where I could walk up to the same girl at a bar at the beginning of the night when I'm in my own head and have it go absolutely no where, and then try again an hour or 2 later when I'm feeling good and it'll go really well.

The point is your mindset, and where you're coming from can be more important than what you say. If you're coming from the mindset that you are awesome, it'll work for you way better than if you think less of yourself and walk in thinking "Ok this probably won't work"
