"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

"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 have seen enough of bad marriages to know it's not worth the hassle and pain but I always get from friends it might be different for you Power.

My Mom is the only one who has told me to stay away from marriage and never have been pressured by her it's only been friends or neighbors pushing the marriage thing.


I will be 52 April and a bachelor my whole life why would I want to screw myself up now for I no longer fear being alone and very content with my single life.

It is a good read. Even better is looking at the opposite article, "10 Reasons to get married."

All of their reasons to get married suck. They're terrible. "You'll continue your bloodline." "You won't die alone." "You'll have 2 incomes, so you can buy a big TV."

Compare that to the "NOT getting married" article that talks about a life of spontaneity and adventure.

Interesting read. There's arguments for marriage and certainly arguments against. Good thing I'm too young to really give a d*mn.
 

"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.
