"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.

Ex Stealing my Friends, DLV-ing me in front of my date

Prom comin' up, and my ex has convinced everyone to take a separate limo, and sit at a separate table. If it was just a matter of letting her have my friends to herself, then fine, I'd just let her have them. I'm leaving for college in a couple months, and obviously these aren't very close friends anyway since they're ditching me.

the problem i have is that it'll make me look completely socially inept in front of my date, cause it'll seem like I don't have any friends. I'm pretty good at working groups, but I doubt I can make it through a night sitting at a table full of people I have never talked to.

so help me out guys. the way I see it, there are two solutions:
1. Find some way so that I convince the ex give me my friends back
2. Work on some solid routines so I'll win over some new friends with whatever group of people I end up sitting with.
 

"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.

that sounds weird to give you your friends back. talk to your friends and have them come with or sit with you. you can find other people there to chill with. they arent good friends if they listen to her.

Your boys should be sitting with you man. I wouldn't even worry about the girls that don't want to sit with you, but that doesn't mean you can't talk to them during anytime where you guys don't have to be sitting though.
