"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 everybody

I'm going to college next year so I would like you to offer some tips on the following:

- college social life
- college academics
- balancing your life
- staying in shape
- anything else you wanna talk about

yea so basically I searched but only found social life tips and little anecdotes. share your stories and anything THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO CHANGE OR DO DIFFERENTLY if you had a SECOND CHANCE. I think I can learn from you guys. thanks
 

"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.

Make friends with alot of people, but, try not to take sides or been seen as "one of that group". This way you'll be able to check girls from lots of different groups.
This can also help to set you apart from people, and make people see your time as rare, and so won't think of you as a piece of the social furniture.


Practice your DJ stuff from the word go, so people can get used to it.

And put college work (and let people know you do this) before everything else. Before friends and girls ect. People actually thought I was cool because of this.

If you just go to class and care a little bit, that puts you ahead of 80% of the other students. Anyone can party in college. Smarter people party it up and still have a high enough gpa to get into grad school. I knew lots of kids who were gone after one semester, because they never went to class and flunked out. Even if you have no idea about life after college, keep you gpa high and you will keep as many doors open for yourself as possible.

Normal cafeteria food will make you fat. I gained 20 pounds the first semester, and lost about 30 the next semester after I found the healthy food line in the cafeteria.

Thanks guys those tips are invaluable. I'm giong to save this thread.

Yeah I been to afew summer camps at colleges and the food was fatty. However there were salad bars and sandwich bars so I will survive.
 

"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.
