"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.

An unexpressive face?

I started thinking alot about how your face expresses so much about your personality and your potential receptiveness/likeablity. And that's a big deal considering most girls check you out long before they choose to let you notice them.

I have a really unexpressive face; the kind that might convey "don't talk to me". I think alot of it has to do with my bone structure as well as my even keeled emotions; i'm not bubbly nor am I ultra-shy. Anybody ever thought of this and ways to change it? So that the world can kinda see a different side of you that's closer to who you really are? Maybe glasses? The right piercing in the right place?
 

"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.

Step 1: Look at your face in the mirror.

Step 2: try to feel different emotions and convaying it through your face.

Step 3: Once you found the look you like most, practice the facial expression and emotion all the time until it becomes a part of you.

Said enough! :p

I notice that when I'm angry, the expression just screams ******* or poor guy. It either makes people pity me or hate me. The eyebrows kind of go down. I've seen it in other people too... Just makes you not want to be around that person.

However if you laugh a little (Force laughter for like 2 minutes to see effects) or do some exercise, your facial expression will be so much more charismatic. (Not to mention the rest of your posture, you'll look much more relaxed). I can't speak for how it looks for you, but for me, it makes me look like much a friendlier guy. And I feel no stress at all- that rocks man!

Perhaps the most awsome thing about this is that it's contagious.
