Charm, let's define it

"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 disagree with you guys. charm is a state of being within yourself . regardless of whether you leave people feeling "happy and warm". i know many a person that would fit into what you describe. they are extremely kind people and have never had a cross word for anyone ( at least not in my presence). although they happen to be extremely decent folks they seem to be severely lacking in the "charm" department. charm basically boils down 2 confidence. you can be the warmest, kindest, most generous of people, but if you lack the ability to speak confidently while still being casual. then 'charming" just wouldn't apply
