"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 suffer really badly when it's hot and feel drained, irritable and sometimes sick. When I'm indoors I can sit infront of a fan or take a cold shower but when I'm out for the day, at work or walking around town and so on, I feel like collapsing in a sweaty heap. My productivity slumps whenever its hot and all I want to do is like down in a shady room.

Does anybody have any good tips or product recommendations for keeping cool in the summer heat?

Are there any kind of lotions that are designed to keep you cool? Not like suntan creams that protect you from the heat but more something that reflects the heat or cools your skin.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Where are you from? I live in the middle of the Mohave desert and I have no complints about my 5 month or so summer of 100+ degree days and YOU Think it's hot where you are?! YOU PUNK B*TCH!!!!

Hahahaha I'm joking our dry heat is the greatest!:cool: I actually just got done moving yesterday and it was like 105-108 there abouts and I didn't mind it at all. The sun's awful bright so I need sunglasses to function but the heat is not big deal.

You know what I do recommend to keep cool though, is a cooler with some beers in it. I can tell you first hand that nothing beats the heat like some brews on ice. It makes the day pleasent and completely bearable. That or just bring some water with you to keep your core tempdown. I don't think there's any kind of lotion or product you can buy to beat this because you sweat, get fatigued, loose energy as your body attempts to keep the core of your body some what cooled down. Unless you've got liquid nitrogen on hand there probly isn't an application you could apply to acheive that effect.

My suggestion. Be productive when is cooler and take it easier when it hotter. For example.. I was outside from 7 am to maybe 10 am this morn working on an inground sprinkler system that I am installing. But now, with it 90 by 10 am and 100 plus by noon.... ( 108 as I type this around 2 pm) I just turn on the AC and take it easy. Work with the temperature rather than against it.

I find humidity to be the worst. When it hot but dry, at least the shade is cool. But when it is really humid (I'm from Chicago) then the heat will get to you everywhere. This is coming from someone who runs 5+ miles per day, so I know how horrible it can be to have a hard workout in the heat of the day (don't ever run at noon BAD IDEA - common sense really).
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

I thought Chicago was famous for its cold weather.
