"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.

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

It all comes down to what the DJ bible has been teaching you; voice projection, tone, calmness, etc. Before I knew of all of this stuff, I would think of some artificial funny stories to make up before bedtime to share with my friends. In those moments of silence after a story was told or a short conversation has ended, I would very quickly before someone else says something, tell my story, only to have no one laugh. That's because I rushed it and had a weak voice. Now when I tell my stories, I speak with a confident, deep voice and simply take my time. Whenever someone tries to interrupt me, I simply ignore what they are saying and keep talking. That tells the group that what I'm saying is important.
Also, what a lot of people love doing is exaggerating and/or sugar coating their stories to make it seem more funny. I used to do this a lot when I was younger and it pissed off my cousin because he knew what I was doing. One of my friends does this and guess what? No one really laughs at his stories, even though they're a lot more comical than the stories I have to tell. I realized later on that nothing is funnier than the truth. My exaggerated and sugar coated stories sucked because they weren't funny for that very reason. Just stick with the entire truth, project them with a strong and calm voice and you'll become a funny guy.
For improb I saw a couple of seminars and they really didn't help. What helped me was watching a lot of comedies like Dave Chappelle, Chris Tucker, etc. It helps keeping up with pop culture. Also, the bulk of humor comes from the pain or suffering of others, so don't be afraid to make fun of your friends or other people you completely don't know. Often times when I'm in the car with my friends, I think of something funny to say about the random people in the streets. Just don't do it to the point you piss them off or seem insecure about it.

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
