"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.

I was watching this, and it got me interested:

 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

A long time ago, I went to look at a used car. I looked at the oil, and it was like chocolate milk. I tried to explain to the young woman that her head gasket was failing. She was furious and drove off in a fit of rage, because she thought I was trying to take advantage of her. Then the car broke down about a mile down the road. I only know that because her mother, whom I had never met or talked to before, called me the next day to apologize profusely for her daughter. "She's a hard working single mom and all she needs is a good man in her life."

The last time a mom tried setting me up with her daughter was a few years ago when I was just starting my lawn business. She was one of my first customers. She hated her daughter's current boyfriend and tried to talk me into going on a date with her. I was married at the time and I don't think the daughter wanted anything to do with me anyway.

Probably, can't remember specifics, but when I was single (or "between girlfriends"), people in my social circles would often try to set me up with someone.

These girls were chronically single for a reason!

Usually it's because their standards are way too high.
Sometimes they are just not feminine (especially the career focused).
Or they simply don't want a relationship, for whatever reason (eg they haven't finished playing the field, or they're still getting over their last breakup)

{Did end up in a relationship with one.
Sincerely hope she found her prince charming.. because she's allergic to cats!}

On a couple of occasions we talked about the attempts to ship us and decided that we didn't mesh and could have a laugh about it, then go our separate ways and not waste any more time/effort.

But generally, I became very disillusioned at the abysmally low standards in women my social circles expected me to have.
Some things have always been the same..
