Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

How do you guys handle them?

I recently realized I had been working on the wrong part of a project for the better part of a week, and even worse I had been delegating tasks for others to do which means I wasted their time as well.

I'm not sure if I should straight up tell my boss I was working on the wrong thing, or hide it and try to get the work done myself?

Any help is much appreciated.
 

"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.

If the job worth it, take initiative in making things right without letting know anyone.

If you can correct your mistakes without involving your boss, costing the company more money (more than just your man hours) and bring some excellence to the table, do that first.

If its something critical that may cause problems, bring it up and bring up the solution as well (even better if the solution is underway). Never bring your boss a problem without possible solutions.

The employee they don't have to manage is gem.

Usually when there's mistakes at work, I keep my mouth shut and let my boss and coworkers continue making them without wise comments from me. I would just get in trouble if I brought the mistakes to their attention.

I ended up telling my boss, but not bluntly, "hey I fvcked up."

Just kind threw it into a conversation when I was discussing documents I needed (for the wrong part of the project). She ended up apologizing to me about not explaining the project clearly enough the first time. The project is going to take one week, instead of the three I initially told her.

No harm, no foul.
 

"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.

Something similar happened to my friend who is a drug dealer. He was working on a project with his meth supplier. My friend mistakingly was selling the drugs for $60 instead of $80. But he came clean to his supplier and they worked everything out. I haven't seen him since tho.
