"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.

This is my first post here, mainly because things aren't going so well for me.

I am 15 1/2 years old and just completed my freshmen year of high school. It was pretty average. I hated the beginning of it, but I became a lot happier towards the end. I have good grades, am probably the best freshmen volleyball player, have a good amount of friends, and would consider myself good-looking. I still, though, have never had a girlfriend and have only really kissed one girl. But I didn't really care because at the end of school, I was probably one of the happiest of those around me. I was improving my personality, my looks, and the amount of people I talked to.

Then summer came around...

I thought summer was going to be a blast, but instead I sat around and did nothing for the first week-no socializing or improvement-just sitting playing video games. This started a chain reaction. I have to try really hard to do anything. My mom just started chemo for her cancer so she can't drive. I do nothing. I haven't even tried achieving the goals I set out to complete-learning the guitar, meeting knew people, improving myself. I just sit around playing on my computer feeling like crap. I'm insecure, lazy, and feel like no girls will ever be attracted to me (even though I'm actually semi-good looking so my personality must suck)

Mainly this post is just me venting my frustration. I have a volleyball tournament this weekend and I'm hoping to start over afterwards. I'm going to try to stop playing as much video games-even quitting all together, and completing the goals that I set out to achieve (I'm making a list)
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Well first off, I hope it goes ok for your mum.

You know the answer to this dude. Continue with the self improvement, you're only 15, you can go miles. So what if you never really had much success with girls? You're 15. I was 18 before I even got kissed, now I get laid like a rockstar.

As for the negative stuff....associate it to pain. I recently got rid of a women because she was nothing but disrespectful to me and I realised that it would just make me miserable in the future. Same goes for your videogames. Ditch them when you realise there doing nothing for you, or your future.

Good luck man.

Hey mate,

I know what you mean, and I have gone through what you have. The only thing you can do is ask yourself really, what is better for you? Video games? Or mastering social skills? You have to be really honest with yourself because lying to yourself will fvcking kill you.

I am your age, so if you would like to keep in touch or PM me, I would be happy to help you out with anything, just promise that you are on to actually do things, not one of those fvcking lazy all talk people. Throw away the negativity, try being more positive.

Alternatively, you can check out the "Creating Motivation and Drive" article in my sig, or one of my FRs there too.

Don't stop mate

Yeah, last night my buddy called me up and wanted to get together and go cruise town, but I was too lethargic last night and just made up some excuse not to go, after he left I was like damn, i should have gone.

I'm 16 by the way, but read the DJ bible and it'll help you out im sure.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
