"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.

In highschool, even while I was still an AFC in learning, I remember giving a handshake to one of the natural chads. He corrected me by saying "if you're gonna shake my hand, do it properly and make sure the thumbs latch onto eachother."

But nowadays, dudes give each other fist bumps. The way I see it, fist bumps are given by bosses and owners to their lowly employees. I can understand being at a gathering and then having to leave right away and giving quick fist bumps to your homies before heading out, but...fist bumps during greetings just irks me.

Proper hand shake at minimum to the men you respect. When I'm seeing my boys, it's ALWAYS a handshake followed by the millennial bro hug.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

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.

Everything else will fall into place effortlessly
