"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.

Always angry?

For the past few years people have been telling me that I always look angry. Looking at myself in the mirror it's true. My neutral facial expression is that of someone who's a little angry even though I'm not. Sure I can raise my eyebrows a bit and fix the issue but it's feels too forced. I have maybe two causes

1: Lack of sufficient sleep. I notice the angry, serious neutral facial expression is gone a bit if I actually sleep enough.

2: Bottled up anger

Anybody has/had an angry, serious looking neutral facial expression and managed to fix it?
 

"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.

It's just a phase man, don't worry about it.

Dark and brooding. You're what turns 17 year old girls on, don't sweat it and keep going after these girls.

Enjoy your youth!

Maybe you have dark circles under your eyes or something. You could use your face being more fresh and a clear skin maybe. Your face could look more nourished...

If you really are angry then you got to find ways to fix that. Try some exercise, etc, you know.

Maybe you have a low thyroid- that leads to dry and rough skin...

I think that I read somewhere that maca is good for your skin and propolis could be good for the face particularly... Not sure however.

Maybe you should have posted more details in your post. Of course, it may be your genetics too! Good luck. :)

Whenever I'm at home by myself odds are I'm angry. Have been for the last seven years or so. Thankfully for me it doesn't show when I'm out.

It's really bad anytime I don't have mental stimulation. It sucks trying to enjoy a nice bike ride or trying to fall asleep at night when I'm pissed. It's anger at the world and myself.

The best way to deal with it, is to remove the source of anger, but that's easier said than done.
 

"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.
