"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.

he often resets our modem and we dont have internet i think he does that for attention

today he reseted internet along with tv. For 3h i was trying to figure out how to bring it back

there was modem menu in tv and mind you i stopped watching tv/using TV about 17 years ago and had no clue how to make it work because regardless good connected cables it didnt work

anyway i fixed it finally and now he says iwas the one who ruined internet???

its not funny, im 3 hours behind because of some unreasoned/irrational decision

basically, 99% of stuff he says to me is as irrational as it can be and i dont understand it. he changed into woman ???
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Resetting modem reboots it. Modem resets are often used when connection goes out for some technical reason. For example just a month ago I was using modemA and LTE dongle connected into a router via USB and it would loose connection often, so resetting it would do the trick. Then I changed to using modemB I had laying around and the issue went away. Chances are your modem looses connection and to fix it he resets it, but the thing is, resetting sometimes does not take care of the issue.

It sounds a lot like you have firmware issue with your modem, most likely something is going bad inside and this type of sht happens. Get a new modem to solve your issue.

As far as your dad, I wouldn't care, trust me, he don't have an issue.

Maybe you have a bad router/modem? Perhaps, someone calling the Internet/TV provider to diagnose the router/modem and why it needs to be reset so often would be a worthy call.

There isn't much to do there, either you reset all settings to factory (don't confuse with pulling the plug) which can be a problem if custom settings are required for connection, or the modem is living a live of it's own and looses connection. I believe this is a cable modem we talking about? Those are notorious for going bad after a storm or brown out.
 

"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.

If he’s having to reset the modem often, that’s usually done because of connection problems. It’s only a temporary bandaid, not a solution. It’s either a modem problem, faulty inbound line, or line connection.
OR, he wants more output than purchased bandwith and blames the modem.

Bad connection or service provider problem. If you’ve got that speed, the modem is probably high quality and less likely to fail. Think incoming signal continuity…

Oh the problem is easy then, you are sucking off your dad. He is watching a movie on his web tv and then you begin your prn download and internet stops, so he resets it, and in this particular instance might as well fcked with it so you don't get online. You are bugging your dad. Get yourself a DSL line just for yourself, or an LTE modem.

Edit: Maybe you should provide for your own internet browsing. It gets difficult when parents start to cramp your style. I've been there.

"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.
