"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 see a lot of people using the term troll..

"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.

To be fair, I think some SSers are too quick to yell "troll." There are a lot honest, legitimate posts from guys struggling in the game. Sometimes it can sound like a troll post, but in reality, the poor guy is clueless and genuinely needs help.
Or clearly seeking attention for the sake of attention instead of genuinely needing help or having an actual problem.Jaylan said:
They lie so we will pay attention. I consider that trolling. Agree or disagree?
"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.

The new mod team is doing a pretty good job about filtering these nuisances out, so hopefully you will start seeing that term less and less.

Well not everyone posts here because they need help or have a problem. Many offer advice and others just like to strike up discussion, in which case attention is desired.Alle_Gory said:
So I cant really agree with your assessment.
Trolling is simply useless comments that add nothing to the general discourse at hand. Things like this include off topic posts, off topic threads, insults and negative/hateful viewpoints.
