"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

If you had a year (and a bit) to do anything you wanted, what would you do? I'm in that situation probably (by choice) as I want to take a gap year between school and uni for a couple of reasons, such as wanting a break before embarking on five years studying for medicine, wanting to broaden my middle class middle of the road mind and see the world, and to mature a bit as I hhave always been one of the youngest in my year and do look young.
Financially I'm not in the situation where I need to raise money to pay for uni but the year does need to not lose me any money and any money raised would be nice.
I'm not stuck for ideas, there are endless possibilities (although not endless money), but I'm wondering what other people would do (I will be 18 btw) if they had a similar opportunity.
Has anyone done a gap year and if so what did you do and what did you get out of it?
 

"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.

I'd actually like to be in one of those iron man competitions I saw on tv a while ago where people ran this marathon.

Thats got to be the ultimate test of mental and physical endurance plus you get to be on tv and potentially inspire a huge amount of people if you make it past the finish line.

I'd imagine it'd take a year to train for one of those and I'd so love to do this.

Bike, run, ski, shoot photography. Basically I'd do in great abundance the things I can do now, but not as much as I would if I weren't in University.
 

"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.

When I was 19 I lived in Ireland for a year. One of the best things I've ever done.

I highly recommend going and living in another country if you can.

^^^ Did you get a job? Did you have money beforehand? Give us some details, lad! :)

I want to move overseas for a bit, but hear that it is next to impossible for americans. you can't get a work visa, so you have to work under the table... which intimidates me a tad bit.
