"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'm not going to play myself from today on.

I been going to a pokergame for a week now and i'm no 3K loss. I can miss it but it's a lot of money. Been also smoking a lot of hookah since then and my fitness and work regime are bad and slipping now.

As a man I make new hard appointments with myself from 17-8.

- No pokergames, deleted all numbers.
- No hookah
- Back to fitness/work schedule forget this week --> NEW DAY.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Good to notice that changes need to be made. That’s over half the battle there. But if you enjoy poker as a social thing I wouldn’t cut it out but cut down. Now if you think it’s more of an addiction and your loosing money and can’t control it then yeah time to quit. I used to play some back room poker and it was fun times I really miss it.

You can try soccer bets. There are programs out there, usually as excel spread sheets, which let you guess an outcome. Usually you can find them for free if you look good enough. Basically, it's fun. I put minimum on a game and stay afloat. Then when you play often club will give you free bets. I got a free bet for $20 yesterday, when my usual bet is about 50 cents. It's fun and exciting. You develop strategies and keep your balance somewhere around what you put in originally, I never put more than $2 and that $2 can last me a month.

well one rule I have for myself is never bet, so if you like poker find one who you don't have to spend money and just to have fun?
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
