"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.

What is love to you?

What's love got to do with it?
 

"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.

I refuse the word "love", because everybody is talking about a different thing when they say it. "Love" is just a word that confused people use to describe their feelings, without knowing what the hell is happening. And that's ok, but I find it mind-boggling that people are often trying to discuss this on a scientific level. Ask any girl if there's a difference between "being in love", "feeling love" and "true love". Or better, don't.

Might as well do away with the word, and use more direct words to describe what you are feeling.
Affection, attraction, sexual attraction, loyalty, partnership, safety, power, etc.

It's difficult to say because words are like vessels which carry their meaning within a context. You can not pin them down. That's why there is so much love poetry. Because in poetry, we use words loosely, and in novel combinations, in order to maximize meaning.

A warm summer evening,
A cool breeze on the air,
When before me a daughter
Of Aphrodite appeared
Silkily clad in the colour of sunset
Fluttering about fixed starry eyes,
Which drew me in a moving orbit,
Where we circled like twin stars in the night.

Do you think pink is a masculine color?
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

One more thing that irks me: Most discussions about love implicate some sort of peer pressure that you can only be a good person if you "love", whatever that is. People twist their thoughts and actions in horrible ways, just to convince themselves that they conform to the ideal. For that reason alone I say to hell with it.

I'll go with "Strong affection" without any further interpretation.
