"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.

ok if you meet s1 and are attracted to her. Then suddenly you ask for their name and of course their first name is the same as your sister/mother and you say to yourself, this is not good. Or if you find out that they have the same last name as you.

For me, no way anything is going to happen. I just have to get s1 that doesn't have any name relations at all. I am pretty sure everyone feels this way right?
 

"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 just doesn't feel right. I am pretty sure most gals would not like this as well if the guy she sees a guy she likes only to find out that his name is the same as his brother's/dad.

Sounds like you got a personal issue(s).

It wouldn't mean squat to me. It's just a name.

Exactly
 

"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.

You guys are hillarious.

The name doesn't mean sh!t. I've dated three girls in a row with the exact same 1st name. how weird is that?

If her first name was the same as my sister, who cares?

i find it really hard to believe you'd turn someone down just cuz their name was the same as your moms or your sisters. That's just weird.

lol I've already dated a girl who's first name was the same as mine (or close: I'm Alexandru, she's Alexandra, so we both just call eachother alex lol). so anyways it was weird in the beginning but it doesn't stop anything from happening .. a name's a name; it only becomes a problem when you make it one.

very. jp i don't know. Same name as you seems okay, but sister's name? ehh, nah. and last name no.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Everywhere you want to be.... I'm like a Visa card
I knew a couple back in high school who both had the last name Taylor. People would joke about them being married or whatever, but they joked about it too, so it was just fun for everyone. They were very close.

You gotta be kidding??? I had this big ass oneitis with a girl who had my mom's name and it didn't bother me at all. Why would a name be a deal breaker?
