"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 call some girl up that I hooked up with at a bar last weekend and ask her if she wants to come out and do something later this week. She says "maybe" and giggles and i'm like maybe? So shes like "possibly" n I say ite with an uninterested voice. So I ask her if she works nights and she says sometimes depending on how things go at her job (doctors office) and says to call her later this week to discuss it. Is it worth another call or should it be nexted.

I think maybe it's some hard to get because she was kinda playin that at the bar. I'll call it anyway some time later in the week. Should I just call one night and ask to come out that night or a night in advance to set something up?
 

"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.
