"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.

Hey guys I just turned 19 and i'm getting sick of drinking the same old coors lights and fireball whiskey.

Any good brands (can be hard liqour, wine or beer) that you would recommend. I like in ontario canada so I have to buy from the lcbo so that might affect what I can get but give me some recomendations
 

"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.

I go for Blue Moon Beer these days.. Tall, cold, and with an orange in it. I've been through phases of different beers over the years; Miller Lite, Guinness, Bud Lite Lime, MGD, and now Blue Moon. I'm like you I drink one for a while and then get tired of it.. Can't help you on anything else as I only drink beer and maybe 3-4 bloody marys per year. I don't handle hard liquor well at all.

Back when I was a drinker, Canadian Mist and Black Velvet were a couple of favorites. Rocks or straight.

These things are very personal. They are also transient. What you like now will lead to different preferences later.

Much as I was a single malt Scotch Whiskey drinker for years, for the past several years, I've been liking bourbon and rye.

And this has been a margarita and tequila summer for me. Just feels right.

Try different stuff. Just stay away from chick drinks with sickening sweet or heavy liquors or umbrellas and such.

And Fireball is definitely a beginner's preference.

Tanqueray Gin. Pinnacle Gin. Foster's.
 

"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.

My ex-wife is from St Lucia. Mt Gay is made in Barbados, a neighboring island, so it was the cheap rum in St Lucia, $6 a bottle. I drank a bit of it there, enough to know it is some cheap rotgut stuff. Myers is much better, quality-wise. You won't go back.

ive still yet to try a dark rum.

mount gay rum and coke has always been a staple of mine. i also really like captain morgan spiced rum and pepsi. the Mt. gay rum really shines as a mixing rum tho

i also like bulleit.

higher end you cant beat a mcallan. most ill ever spend on is a 12. lagavulin is nice and smokey. and laphroaig....well lets just say you should try that at least once. to get an idea of what it tastes like, this is where the flavor comes from

Nice.

Myers is a good dark rum. Captain and Coke is good.

Knob Creek or Makers Mark with either ginger ale or Dr. Pepper is really good.

McCallan, Glen Livit, Glen Fiddich are good scotch. Lagauvlin I just bought. Very good.

Bullet is good too.
