"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 went out to eat with this girl I'm interested in two days ago. We're "friends" but not friend zone friends since I've never listened to her problems, wasn't a shoulder to cry on, etc.

so basically we're tlaking then we go to a park to sit down for a while. I sstart asking her what she wants to do and stuff because we're going off the college.

anyways, we get to the subject of me and I talk about how there were obstacles in my life and how I had to get through them even though people around me were jealous and did not like the change. I talk about what I did to change and basically i guess I gave off an air of independence. So she doesn't say anything and we talk a little more and separate to go home. before she goes home she says "by the way I don't think you can get through life alone. we all need someone"

lemme know what you think about what she said. maybe i'm reading too much into it? thanks guys.:cheer:
 

"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.

I think it may mean something, she may be making some sorta offer or something along those lines, but it's impossible to tell with the given info. Either way it's all about what you think about what she said, you have to live with you after all.

To quote Rollo: "If you're not fvcking her you're her girlfriend." 'nuff said.

True Wolf, I agree. I think I am overanalyzing.

Karma...I dunno man. I think the prevailing notion on this board is that you gotta **** **** fvk, but I don't think so. Just because I'm not fvcking her doesn't mean I'm in the friend zone. But yeah I will keep that in mind as I get older.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
