"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.

Pearl Jam has to be my all-time favourite band; I've listened to their music for over 30+ years.

I unfortunately have never had the opportunity to seeing them play live, until now. Today, I just scored tickets to their concert in Melbourne, later this year, during November. I got tickets in the 'Golden Circle', which is the closest section to the stage. I've never gone to a major concert before, so I believe that this will be one of the best nights of my life.

I haven't had a genuine holiday in nearly 30 years, when I visited Hong Kong when the United Kingdom was still in control (I don't count my yearly visits interstate to see family as a 'Holiday'). I'm glad I'm able to have the opportunity to treat myself. This year has started off great for me... giving up alcohol (47 days sober today), and now I'm going to see my favourite band. I haven't been back to Melbourne in around 20 years, the city where I grew up, so It will be great to also explore places such as the Museum and Galleries, and the amazing food scene.

Anyone here also Pearl Jam fans, and seen them play live?
 

"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.

So, I saw Pearl Jam play live for the first time last Monday, in Melbourne. A Bucket List item ticked off, and it was one of the best nights of my life.

"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.
