"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.

Haven't posted for ages, feels good to be back, because this time I actually need REAL advice. First of all, I like to say this has nothing to do with dating or anything related, but I must post as it's urgent. Here it goes, there's a daughter of my mother's friend who regularly comes to our home, for some reason I don't know she would continuously pay me out about how bad I look and how I suck at everything I do. Now her parents are really nice people and I like them a lot, but their genetically mutated ***** daughter is anything but a nice person. Since her parents have close relations with my parents I would be in deep trouble if I swear at her or do anything dramatic. At this point I'm pretty fed up on her and unsure of what to do the next time I see her, which will definitely be very soon. Please help on this depressing situation
 

"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.

ummm...sounds pretty 3rd graderish. just act like she's doing all these things because she can't have you (which could be the truth) and just show her how immature she's being

Sorry I forgot to mention, she is 21 and I am 17, so there can't possibly be anything happening between me and her. I like to ask for advice on this serious SOCIAL matter which is really starting to piss the hell out of me.
NB: Everyone please do not treat this as a joke, because it is not. As I said I'm really starting to get annoyed by her antics.

i pulled a few 21 year olds when i was 17, but seriously just believe that you're really hot **** and you're so above her and she's just "player hatin'" Never show that what she says affects your mood/attitude because the she'll keep doing it.

Thanks, just the advice I needed. Unfortunately I have already shown what she says have affected me very negatively.
 

"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.
