"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.

Any Eternal Bachelors here ?
Specially those >35yrs old
how do you spend time during holidays ,when others are all with family
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Will eat dinner with dad. Bro and his wife are visiting too this Xmas.

Not sure about New Years. I'll probably go to a party at the dance studio.

Alone on the holidays doesn't bother me much.

It's my birthdays where I've gone out alone for the past 7 years or so. That's what really sucks.

Being alone on the holidays makes single women feel extra lonely, which makes them extra easy. Especially in regard to getting them to skip the dating bs and go straight to sex.

So true. I've had extraordinarily great luck on Valentine's Day also. No women wants to look single.

OP, I'm still a bachelor. Not going to BS you, but holidays can get pretty lonely, but I stay close to my family and friends so it's not so bad. The day after the holiday, the loneliness subsides, and it's back to business as usual.

It does suck at times but you kind of accept it in a way. Spend it with family if you can. When that's not an option then friends.....even though 90% of mine that live closed are coupled up, at this age, I'm usually the lone bachelor wherever I go.

It does sometimes have it's advantage though, one of these couples will have a chick friend that's recently single and visiting, that kind of thing. But, in general, it's not something to rely on. Just push through. It is what it is.

Single or not I'm always at my parents house. It's not too bad but definitely harder emotionally when I'm single. Eventually I would like to have a family of my own. My sister and two brothers are all married with kids so I don't know what I did wrong.
 

"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.

You're looking at it all wrong IMHO. If you were in a relationship right now, you'd have a whole set of new problems. You have more presents to buy (more $), more demands on your time and you might just have to navigate some awkward family dynamics.

I'm sure there are plenty of coupled-off men who long for the days they were single.

The only thing that sucks for me during this time of the year is being with family, so much awkward tension involving my dad towards the rest of them around the holidays.

If I was with someone it'd just make things even more awkward having her around to deal with it.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

I have spend several Christmas by myself and I like it a lot. I can be without women for decades and I can be hartbroken for many years. My father died, my mother died and my X died in the last couple of years. I broke my arm and my hip last year. God may think she can break me but I am unbreakable, I eat this **** for breakfast and I like it, :)
