"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 just graduated and this girl is a junior (HS). I've been pretty AFC so i finally found this site and pulled my **** together. Saw this girl tweet "so who wants to take (her friend) and I to (local snowcone place)?" This tweet was probably meant for an older girlfriend of theirs but I decided to pounce. I was in her first class when she came to school freshman year and she has always looked at me as a leader (ie mature and aggresive). So I texted her "when we goin to (snowcone place)?" she texted me back a while later (I guess her friend and she talked about it for a while) "Whenever you pick us up!" I took them in the Audi and they had a great time (she sat in the front next to me). I also picked them up a little late and annoyed the hell out of them(in a funny way). I think I have finally gotten rid of my AFC, the only AFC thing I did was at the end of the night said "you guys are fun, let's do it again" and the went home. I think this wasn't really that AFC though. She perceives me as this really cool, non clingy guy, that just runs ****. She and her friend also got really giggly at one point and asked me "soooo are you in a frat? hehe" Thankyou so suave for making me not a piece of **** anymore. I haven't texted her in 3 days and tomorrow I am thinking about asking if she wants to be the girl I TAKE(showing I have lots of options) to the Miss Oklahoma Pagent. (I have to go, and guys are kindof supposed to bring girls or you look like a weird ass)
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.
