"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.

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Pretty much, go around and make friends. Also go around campus and find out what all there is to do around there. Free time is a killer mostly, if the place is boring or you don't know what is around.

Congrats on Northwestern, great school man...I'm a few hours south of you at Wash U in St. Louis.


Anyways, just talk to everybody, go to all the orientation events, be as social as possible. After everyone is settled in your room, walk around the floor and introduce yourself to everyone...Don't worry, no one will find this unusual at all. At night head over to the frat houses and see if any parties are going on.

Wash u? nice. i'm 2 hours from st.louis right now in missouri.

yeah, i think i've got a pretty good idea what's going on that first week i can get a good grasp of things.

thanks to the replies. this topic isn't dead yet though. i'm sure i'm not the only one here heading off for the first time.

lol btw, no one answered the question about frosh gettin lovin from the older hb's. i'm guessing the answer is "depends on how much of a dj you are"

Pretty much. Though it IS easier to get some from an older chick than most people think, with or without moves.
 

"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.

It's too easy to get with an older chick at college. Just run your game. And on move in day, just introduce yourself to EVERYBODY. I don't care if they don't look like they'll be in your clique or not. Just keep introducing youself and crack jokes. They'll probably have activities for you to do, so go to those. Don't worry about throwing a party the first night, it's better to get some guy friends first. Then go the first few frat parties and introduce yourself to everyone. $20 says you won't go home alone....
