"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.

Ok, so I'm a small town boy, never needed any dancing skills that extened beyond the clubs, or any social skills that went beyond 'hanging out'. But now, I've been expanding my social circle... and am going for this formal party where old people sit around and fart.

Week after, to the opera. Then, another ball. Some multi-millionare is having a party. Gf's mom is his private secretary.

Ok, so in 40 days, I need to have class, poise, and know how how to dance. And I don't even have a proper suit or anything.

Don't even know where to start.

Help!

These high class socialites intimidate me like hell.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Just read read a book about proper etiquette and go to the library and boow some dvd's on ballroom dancing. Remember, no reason to be intimidated, they don't know you ain't got nothing on you.

I dated a girl that had many high social events I was to attend. At first it was somewhat nerve racking and even had one person ask me how I wound up at a certain event. He almost got foot in mouth disease but I refrained.

Take it easy and relax. Get a nice suit and some slacks with a good sports coat. I got one a few years ago for the above paragraph and it is still in style.

Oh, the irony about me feeling out of my league was I made and still do make more money that most of the people that attended.

Simple answer: Second hand store. Why pay a buttload of money for clothes you wear once every five years?

Yeah, but you have the ability to grab their wives from under their nose and fvck the 5hit out of them! Personality can go further than money.

I'd have to disagree. A suit is like an investment and people in the know will know so you are better off getting a nice suit. It doesn't even have to be that expensive, there are plenty of nice ones at Men's Wearhouse and Burlington Coat Factory for $200 or less.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
