"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.

Well i met a girl on a train coming back from Baltimore, I could tell she was very interested. Got her number and SHE would text me all the time to hang out. So last night (saturday) we agree to meet at a bar with her friends and I would roll with mine. Got a fresh haircut, cleaned my apartment (for when she comes over later), and was dressed to perfection.

Then I decided to have a couple vodka red bull to loosen me up a little, since I can be overly serious. I haven't drank in 4 weeks and am on a strict diet so i only had a protein shake and a can of tuna. Went out round 10, met my friends had two more vodka red bulls. I texted the girl she said to meet her at a bar round 12.

As I am walking to the bar, I can feel that I AM WASTED. Stumble at the door and the guy almost doesn't let me in. Walked in and saw the girl she comes up and all I can do lean on the bar, she says something and i can tell by the way she is looking at me I wasnt gonna bang this girl as planned/ever see her again. So I cut my losses and leave.

This is when the story takes a strange turn. I start walking home 1 mile, it starts raining. Another shady looking guy is walking too, i talk to him and he is obviously homeless. I said," ITS F()CKING RAIN SH*YT. The guy gives me his pancho and I say, "Lets get some whataburger" We go in I got this pancho on SOAKED, and we get a burger and fries. I say bye, go to sleep. Wake up and my bed is SOAKED, my apartment roof has a hole.

Chalk that up as a lose.
 

"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.

Meh if you're going out with the expectation of getting laid (i.e. meeting up with a girl) then it's not a good idea to get too wasted unless she is worse than you.

If I'm not meeting up with a girl though I don't really care I'll go out to the bar and get hammered and hit on girls and sometimes it'll work out sometimes not but I'm fine with that because I'm just having fun.

Oh man I learned this lesson hard this weekend. I had my arm around this girl, pretty damn cute.. a good 7.5. Well I was about to make out with her, then wound up puking on her instead.. It was rough, but that's how you learn sometimes! haha
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
