"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.

The spring semester has just started and I want to make sure that this semester is better then the last. There are a few things I want to accomplish. First off I want to be around as many women as possible. Second is I want to be a part of a social circle. I spent most of my first semester alone and it wasn't that fun.

Right now is the time to join clubs and the first meetings are being held this week. I want to be around and make friends with girls and cool guys (who know girls). In other words no matter how much I love Anime and Video Games those clubs would most likely be nothing but nerdy guys and wouldn't be helpful in accomplishing my goals.

So far I've decided to attend the Salsa Club and Surf Club meetings that will be happening this weeks. I actually took Salsa last semester and I'm taking another dance class this semester so I know that the salsa club will have a ton of girls. Also dancing with girls is just fun. I've always had an interest in surfing but I've never done it. So I'll learn how to surf and possibly make some friends with decent guys. I can start going to parties and stuff.

Does anybody know any other actives that I can do, to be around women and make cool friends?
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Congrats on trying to step out of your comfort zone and trying to improve your social life. Salsa and surfing clubs sound excellent. Perhaps you could do something music related? Sports obviously, or auto for meeting "cool guys".

When I'm in a place where I don't know anyone, I make sure to be light-hearted, confident, and as outgoing as possible. There we will always be some nights where drunkards in bars will want to fight for no reason, but in a school atmosphere during the day this sort of approach to new people is an excellent tool for networking. Women will be attracted to you and like-minded men will remember your face and your views and be friendlier each time you see them.
