"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.

I just changed my email address in my profile and I had no idea that I had to respond to an auto generated email confirming the address. By luck I checked my email and there it was.

The problem is that I had tried to reply to forum posts and I got a message alluding that my account may have been deactivated or was waiting for authorization. Those messages led me to believe that a moderator had to do something to my account.

A suggestion is letting users know in no uncertain terms when they change things that need verification that THEY need to do something. I was going to send a note to one of the mods asking if I had pissed someone off thus someone locked my account. It's not as if I would intentionally piss someone off... :D
 

"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.

I always thought that when you changed your email address, the screen said "a confirmation email has been sent to your new address," or something like that.

Guess it should now since a lot of people seem to change their addresses, then not answer the email and wonder why they are seemingly banned.

I just changed it again and a message did pop up but very briefly (just a second or two) before automatically advancing to the next page. I did see the word email somewhere in the message but that was because my eyes caught it because you said that the message mentions it. I guess it would help if you guys could set it so that a button could be pressed to advance to the next page.
