"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 hate having a roommate!!!
- Thread starter comic_relief
- Start date
"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.

Gotta love it when you're trying to function in a sea of immaturity... People think that it's more difficult to stand on your own, I'd prefer that to leaning on someone who doesn't have their act together. Comic, you're going to tell stories about this experience...

and now the @$$hole that I am changing rooms with is thinking about backing out because I misunderstood what my roommate meant about "seeing the GA and signing papers."Francisco d'Anconia said::crackup: :crackup: :crackup:

I hate IMMATURITY among college age people. It's like I am back in high school with a mentally retarded troll that lives five doors down.

Oh, it doesn't stop with college age people either. You'll see first hand that age has nothing to do with maturity. Look at yourself, there are guys almost twice your age who would rather live at home. Hell, I'm meeting women my age who live with a room mate!!! WTF??!!! They come to my place and say "Oh, I like this...." I tell them that I'll send them a picture.... Maturity isn't for the faint of heart....comic_relief said:

I wish that maturity was something to teach in school. I suppose that it was like how to get rich or how to become smart.Francisco d'Anconia said:
I hate how people are idiots with no maturity. It seems like I have to deal with a lot of friggen problems because of these immature idiots. Although apparently I am the idiot that is a pompous @$$ because I am confident in myself. Soon as I move out, I will NOT have to deal with this idiot again. Oh that will be so friggen sweet.
Tonight, he is lucky that I did NOT kick the sh!t out of him for what he does and say.
