"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'm 18 and i was thinking about it and i want to move out. idk where i want to go, nor do i care. im thinking about just going where life leads me right now. im in school to be an entrepreneur and i have the spirit that goes with it. i know i can make it one way or another on my own...

but ive always liked to ask advice before i do something, so what do you think about that statement?
 

"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.

Give us some more info. When you say you're in school, do you mean a four-year university? If so, then yes, you should definitely move out and get into the dorms. By far the best social networking opportunity on campus is being a freshman in the freshmen dorms.

If not, getting an apartment isn't a bad idea, but make sure you got a stable income first, because when you move out you are on your own.

Alright, cool. When you finish up your community college studies and transfer into four-year school, definitely get into the dorms.

As for now, keep in mind if you move out, your cost of living expenses are on your own. You'll discover fast when you move out that it's not just rent...I spend about $300 per month on food, and money on top of that for things like razors, toilet paper, laundry detergent, and other essentials that you can't just tell your mom to pick up from the store anymore. It adds up, so figure out where your priorities are. My opinion is that if you're really trying to keep costs down, stay with your parents until the end of the year when you plan to go onto university.
