"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.

Missing Opportunities, maybe overanalyzing

I feel kinda crappy missing a couple opportunities. I don't know if my co worker was just pontificating the other day (hes married), but he seemed to sense my girl problems (only known him a month).

He thinks I overanalyze. But he was also quick to just randomly point out girls and tell me to game. I work in an investment bank (trade assistant, entry level position). Lots of people 500 + working the trading floor. Is this a good place? Technically I don't work direclty with many people.

Opportunity 2

Went to a bar with co workers, none of which I new in a diff city. I'm chinese usher, great at singing, I sing karaoke, somewhat drunk after 8 rounds of tequila. I saw a pretty girl by herself, looked kinda bored as her friend went off somewhere. I was hesitant, since I was with co workers, but I doubt that they would've cared. I didn't make a move.

Opportunity 3

Played soccer in nyc, pick up games, saw a hot girl, that was really good at the game, she seemed friendly. I'm sure she noticed how well I played. Got kicked off the field by new people with permits. Didn't make a move decided to follow buncha guys to another field.

I don't know why I couldn't seem to pull the trigger. I work and live in a crappy town outside nyc and yet I still dont' make a move. Maybe I need some goals, like 10 approaches a week or something.
 

"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.

If you've been a member here since 2001 and you're still trying to figure out if you overanalyze or not, I would say, yes, you do!


(Which invesment bank would have a trading floor outside nyc? Is it some boutique firm?)

Ya I think you've hit it right on bro.

It's the largest trading floor in the world. Does trading business under diff names. They're just cheap and want tax breaks. I bet they're missing out on top talent with headquarters outside nyc. UBS, great company, ****ty town.
