"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.

Anyone done this before? Live in a house with 2-3 other people? I'm looking to move out and it was suggested to me that in a house with a couple roommates. It sounds like a cool idea as you get to meet people and having your own house means you can play loud music and everything if it doesn't bother your roommates. It's also pretty cheap compared to living on your own. This sounds like a decent idea...any experiences?
 

"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.

Yes. I've lived in several of these situations. I suggest living with someone with a similar lifestyle and habits as you have. For example, if you like to stay up and party 7 nights a week find someone like that. If you think it's okay to leave dishes around the house and empty pizza boxes, find someone who does the same.

I live in a house with 7 people (big house and we each have our own rooms). It is kind of nice because it is like an apartment except we share the kitchens, living rooms, and 2 bathrooms.

I didn't know the people when i moved in, but everyone was pretty decent. I had one roomate who didn't like the noise we would make staying up late so she moved out all on her own.

This situation is sweet because we each have our own lease with the landlord. So were not dependent on each other at all. I never worry about my roomates getting the rent late since its their own lease. If i were to move out I would try to look for a place like this.

The ****ty part is that a bunch are moving out and i don't know who will move in. If they turn out to be *******s i will be stuck with them until August (my lease ends) at the soonest. That and parking is annoying beacuase with 5 cars we constantly have to back up for each other
