"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

I know that you and I disagree on a lot of things but very well done. I even see you are calling a child "brother". Kinda strange but in this case I could see the effect it would have on him, giving him respect while at the same time letting him know that what he did was wrong.

Points for you.
Disagreement, my brother, is part of perspective respect. I respect yours even though I may not agree with it.
 

"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.

That was all very good, don't get me wrong, but you're "real men" stuff... I don't totally agree with it. This kid did soemthing and he was ashamed -let him cry, thats real emotion, and thats ok. The real men part is about NEVER doing anything that would make you feel ashamed. I would have let him cry, but tried to comfort him and firmly tell him that he should never do anything that makes him feel shame in himself because that is what a true man does.
Don't say it, dear boy, DO IT!
