"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.

someone offered to set me up on a blind date. i had an absolutely awful time on my first and only blind date. basically i went with a group to a club and i couldn't shake off this girl o talk to other girls. really aggravating. plus she wasn't pretty at all, so i didn't want to be seen with her. :)

my female coworker says she's cute, but i have learned to only value judgments about attractiveness from guys who are talking about girls.

do you guys request a picture before you call up a girl to take her out?

I only accept blind dates from people who I'm absolutely know my taste, and there is only person who knows, that's my brother. He and I have the same taste so we always know whether or not we'll be into a girl when setting each other up.

In the past I accepted blind dates set up by my best female friend. The girl she introd me to were always nice, and kinda cute, (7's), but the never really did it for me. My friend would always be like, "Ohhhh I know this really cute girl that you'll love!". Eh, it was always dissapointing. So yeah, pictures I now insist on.

This is what happens most of the time, at least with people that really don't know your particular taste. They think that the two of you would hit it off only for one reason: YOU'RE BOTH SINGLE, and nothing else. That sucks big time...
 

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”

Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.

Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers.  Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.

I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Oh yeah? Tell that to the hunchback Hell-Beast that I got set up with, Mister It's-Fun-It's-Like-Gambling.
 

"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.
