"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.

I have a buddy who has oneitis.

I showed him the definition, but he insists that he "keeps her in the back of his mind". He talks about her quite often, and it does get rather annoying, but he's stopped talking about her as much because he realizes that it's annoying.

I want him to join this forum and start posting so you guys can help him, but he's a bit... lazy.

I'm here with him now and I'll read to him what you guys say, maybe one of you can say something profund enough to get him to sign up.
 

"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.

People should commit themselves to improving their own lives, this is not the task of anyone else.

If your friend wants to stay in a Disney movie forever then let him.
