"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.

Not just romantic relationships, but friendships. I feel like dropping everyone I know and start over and build friendships and relationships the right way. Has this been true for anyone else?
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Keep the ones which have the highest value and offer the least DRAMA, and lose the others. Do it with dignity.
IT is not in your interests, nor compulsory, to preserve relationships which have run their course.

A good friend of mine once told me, A man is judged on how much he loves those closest to him.

You don't need to maintain a friendship just for the sake of it. Friendship is a dynamic concept - give a little, take a little.

Don't be fooled though, you do need to make sacrifices for your friends, perhaps even before they've done so for you.

Personally, I have many circles of friends. But only about 5 of my childhood friends I would say are close to my heart and know me well. They always seem to be there to fall back on no matter what, and they have lives of their own, they aren't needy, yet they all live more than 300 miles from me, i see them everytime I make my way back to my hometown...

It seems like the new friends I've made at college aren't nearly as close, maybe just 2 of them I could rely upon for support when I need it most.
