"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.

Curious who folks designate for their Durable Financial Power of Attorney and Medical Directive Agent if they are not married.

When do you think an LTR qualifies for that responsibility?
Especially when your parents are elderly.
Do you grant your Siblings that right?
When do you think Adult Children possess the ability to act on your behalf if you are incapacitated?
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

I would consider giving it to my child if they are 25+ and are reasonable/have their sh1t together. But that can potentially be a difficult spot to put them in too. I think siblings generally are better so long as you hold a close relationship with them.

LTRs are tricky. It would have to be pretty serious and that is a very big responsibility to give to a person not related by blood and who isn't your wife. I would shy away from it completely to be honest.
