"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.

how do you guys deal with bad days where you are just tired, uninterested, and not into life? do you just absorb the loss or try to turn it around? hOW???
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

"nothing is good or bad, thinking makes it so" -shakespeare
what you perceive, and what you can perceive are two different things

what went wrong?
bad grade? make up for it next time and each time after
nothing interseting happen? why not it's your life go explore the world
girl problems? why, women are fun..go enjoy
death? it's ok to mourn..but don't mourn forever

the answer to all of these...
Everything changes. Nothing matters.
i can explain further if you like..but that basically summarizes it

Listen to that "cause you had a bad day" song and wine about how bad your day was hahaha.

Seriously, we all get them - I just try to make the best of it. Just because I got a failed an important test and I see a hot girl, I'm not going to talk to her because I got a bad grade - **** no! Besides, your day is never as bad as it seems.

If i'm being honest, when I have a bad day I actually look to religion. I'm not trying to offend anyone, but looking to God really helps me out sometimes. I've had mental breakdowns before, and numerous other things, but everytime God puts me back on track. yeah, this is metaphysical, but a positive mindset, and knowing that someone is looking out for you really helps.
 

"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.

It's completely acceptable to have a bad day sometimes. There is no need to hide it or fake happiness. Control yourself, don't start b*tching at everyone, but realize that nobody is perfect.
