"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.

Ok. Yesterday morning I woke up with what had seemed to be a mosquito bite on my right forearm. Theres 2 places, one with that's about a few centimeters and the other one was about an inch long. I've put ice on it, etc... Today it's gotten bigger, it's now about 3 and a half inches long, 2 inches wide on my forearm, swollen. Would you guys know if it's a mosquito bite or a spider bite? Should I go to the doctor? It's red, itching, I haven't felt any pain though, no sickness.
 

"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.

3 inches long, 2 inches wide, Swollen, Iching... First some kind of anti irritant ointment then see a dermatologist if it isnt better in a day. As Far as I know mosquito and spider bites dont get that big.

that's what I was thinking. But then again I'm also thinkin if I should see a doctor and make sure that it's not anything poisonous, hence having it swell so much, i dunno.

Well as long as you dont start to feel sick or light headed 1 day shouldnt hurt.

tomorrow will be the 3rd day of me having it and it hasn't decreased in size, only got larger.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

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.

also, I just noticed, on the smaller one, there are 2 bump heads, positioned parallel to eachother. similar to how a spider's fangs would be. the large one has just one bump head.
