"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.

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Is he buying the vehicle? If so, I guess what he says goes. But fwiw, when I was 18, I almost bought an s10. I ended up buying a Nissan instead and I still have that truck. The odometer broke long ago; I think it probably has about 250k miles. My mechanic had it apart not long ago; he said the inside of the engine looks like it has 50K miles, mostly because I changed the oil every 3000 miles. I'm probably going to keep it until I die.

Regarding learning to drive a manual, just find a big empty parking lot. You can learn in one afternoon. Economy cars are easiest. I have driven a manual s10, and that tranny is a b!tch to shift; it is nothing like my Nissan manual. The s10 manual feels like I am driving a full-size truck.

You should learn to drive standard. Its like riding a bike. Once you learn you never forget. You can learn in a couple of hours
 

"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.

Quoted for truth. All you need is a couple hours and a wide open space like an empty parking lot or flatland country roads. I learned on a Ford Danger with a nub for a clutch. When I practiced on an new economy car, the clutch was tighter than a 12 year old.
