"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.

So where do you cross the line? Obviously their is a difference, but how would you go about explaining the effects?
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

One is emotion driven.

One is devoid of emotion.

If you tell a girl you love her, and she says **** you you ****bag...that comes off as mean BUT there is enough emotion there to tell you she was moved enough to make a response like that.

If her reaction is one of indifference and she looks at you all straightfaced and give you zero emotion, that's worse.

Just an example of how in one situation I'd rather have the mean reaction over an indifferent one.

I agree. Indifference hurts more than meanness.
