"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

So I just finished up an internship in Washington, DC which has made my resume look very impressive.

I've been sending out resumes to companies in NYC, and the ones who have responded always ask me the same thing: "Are you currently in the NY area or moving to the area?".

And I always respond with the following: "I'm not currently in the area, but if you were to offer me a job I'd definitely move to the area". That's when, not unlike most chicks i deal with, they go cold and drop off the face of the earth.

I've been to New York City once to interview and it's unlike anything I've ever seen before. I've got to figure out someway to get out there. Perhaps another internship but the REAL problem is just finding a place to stay.

I need a job to get out to NY but I can't get a job offer unless I'm currently living in the area. God damn the economy sucks. And its costs a sh!t ton of money to interview. I've currently got a company in Pittsburgh that wants to interview me but I can't really afford to drive to and from all the way from Indiana to Interview.

F.UCK.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

I don't know why a company would turn you away if you offered to move there. That doesn't make any sense.

But if you are currently located in D.C. there is a $15-20 one way trip to new york, round trip being $30-40. Housing will be your hardest thing in NYC because a lot of real estate in Manhattan is pricey, you will most likely have to get a place in Queens or Brooklyn and commute via train.

I would guess that NYC companies have learned that when they extend offers to people farther away, the applicant will eventually either decline when they discover the cost of living, or even worse, ask for the employer to help with the cost.

NYC is the most over-rated city in the world. Mass populated, dirty, stuck up chicks, dirty, expensive, dirty... dirty...

West Coast is where you want to be my man

That was awesome. Minus the whole west coast rant.
 

"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.

Just find a friend in NYC who's willing to let you put their address on your resume until you get your own place.

Dude, I applied to 200+ jobs here and got 25 interviews before actually getting a single job offer. You just gotta keep trying.

This. Get you a pre paid cell phone with area code and an address in the city and lie your ass off. No impromptu meetings and you're golden.
