"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.

So I was supposed to chill with some chick tonight. She had very high interest in me, even told me over the phone she wants me in her..

She sends me a text today saying "hey, __ you're really hot but i don't think it's a good idea we hang out.. your ex is in my sorority and i think she may still like you"

I played it off, told her okay, maybe some other time.. not a big deal.

BUT, me being the stupid **** i am i text my ex and say "hey, whatever i do is my damn business, stay out of it."

I don't think my ex said anything to her, but now I have to explain to her why I said this. I have no idea what to say.. for the record i don't like her anymore i just don't want to seem like a *****/jackass to her friends (potential targets).

anyways, stupid thread, stupid decision but if anyone has any ideas let me know
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Alright. This may work. Confront your ex in person, and tell her you are so sorry for the text the other day, you mean to send it to a male friend of yours that's name is right under hers.

That should get you out of your bind...HOWEVER

I try not to target my ex's friends. As much as you may not realize it...her friends will talk to her about you. IT WILL HAPPEN NO MATTER WHAT THEY SAY. You're pretty much fvcked with them from the get go...

No go.. I used her name in the text message. I don't really want to say sorry to this girl. She screwed me in our relationship, so I feel no need to apologize for anything.

I think I'm just going to keep it real. When she calls tomorrow I'm just going to tell her that I heard something that may or may not be true, but either way she needs to keep out of my business with other women.

who cares about the ex. what exactly did you tell the other girl when she brought it up?
 

"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.
