"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.

Ahh first F*** Up report in a while , expect more.

I was at the gym a bit late ie I only had five minutes to kill before class. I went into the mall to check my bank balance and saw a real live , dyed in the wool unaided natural HB9 (18ish , eastern descent , cute as a button). This threw me a bit as I hadn't done a throwoaway to warm up or anything. I went in using RSD style , "have you been waiting here long / looking fro my friend" opener. That flew well, I fed the concversation , stayed in through a few lulls and we got past the social hook point and were chatting (as always , the new in town schtick sold me. I ran the "Auckland Girls" DHV which started her into preening gestures and such.

All going well when her ride came and I ejected without closing also failed to run my b/f qualifier / soi.
Everybody kick Walden...stupid...stupid...stupid.
 

"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.

Kick, kick, kick .... stupid, stupid, stupid!!!!

;)

Dude, although I don't understand half the acronyms you used, you really should cut yourself some slack. Most of the slackers of the world wouldn't have even APPROACHED.

I'm glad you're still out there DOING it daily.

You know the drill, but just a reminder to take some of the ego out of the situation ... it's the ego that prevents you from just closing without fear of rejection or anxiety, etc.

Good job bro.

I didn't understand what you wrote with those acronyms, could you repost using english? I know from you're from New Zealand but that excuse don't fly by me.

those ackronyms do drive me nuts but walden is one of my heroes on this board

prosemont is right, 95 % of guys don't have the balls to do what you do, most do absolutly NOTHING

Just by the way you've typed, it seems like you have it all together......Good job nonetheless bro.
 

"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.
