"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.

I never thought of this before, but I decided to grow a beard. Reason being that I have lots of acne scarring on my cheeks and it never popped into my head that a short, well-trimmed beard could probably cover that up very nicely. Not to mention, I'm VERY curious as to how a beard would look on me in the first place.

I'm gonna keep it short (I'm not going for the Kris Kringle look), so probably will keep it trimmed to maybe 3/4 inches long or something. Since I just decided I probably have a good two to three months before it comes in nice and thick.

Anyone else got 'em/had 'em? How'd you feel about it?

I know the ladies are probably split on facial hair (since everyone likes their own thing), but I figure as long as I keep it neat it shouldn't hurt my chances.

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

I have a beard. I shave my neck and jawline twice a week. There are a lot of websites devoted to beards on the internet that will give you tips.

The only tips I have is to shampoo and comb your beard at least once a day.

Also your face may break out or itch while you're growing your beard. Just be persistant and it will go away after a while.
