"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 guys! I've been reading around these forums for a few months now and I've been given a new perspective on this whole deal. I would like to thank you all for the help. My question that I'd like to ask is: How do you dance without looking like an idiot? Last dance we had at school, I went and turned out to look like a total idiot. No idea what i was doing. So just some tips maybe? Not realy sure how to move. Music played is usually RnB and some hip hop.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

How did you look like an idiot?

I don't know how I dance personally, I just move to the rythm and don't really give a fvck what people think of my moves. I've been given the compliment of being a great dancer while I was on sick amounts of intoxicating substances. Just doing what you feel like doing makes you seem confident, following certain lameass dance moves makes you seem like a boring freak.

The only time I feel like I look like an idiot when dancing is when I'm doing the head-nod :D

If you really suck at it, buy a huge mirror, get some good dancing music and look at yourself dancing in the mirror. I haven't tried it, but I've read it's a good way to practice.
