"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.

Got dumped, made the mistake of doing some pleading and reasoning. Now attempting to do NC. Made that clear.

Unfortunately we work at the same company but in completely separate physical areas. Our employer has a "laptop initiative" where some members of staff can check out laptops for use while they're employed there.

I've already told her once in person before and again in text the extent of my knowledge regarding how to get the laptop. She needs to submit a ticket and/or email/call the help desk guy so they can verify her eligibility. Literally sent her a text about it last week, and, unless she deleted my texts, she knows this.

The problem is the text is likely buried in the mounds of sh!t that I sent her this past weekend. Did she legitimately forget(she has kind of a weak memory)you guys think or is she just testing me the next fvckin' morning after I made no contact clear?

Is it worth being professional and concise in my text just telling her what to do? I was thinking of saying "I already sent you a text with directions last week" but it just seems too butthurt. Alternative was "You need to submit a ticket and contact XYZ, that's all I know about it." She texted me roughly 2 hours ago so I haven't responded yet, and, I didn't contact her first.

Thanks for the thoughts.
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

You're the one who came up with the idea that there will be No Contact but you're considering answering her? Say what?!

You can not be the only person in that building that knows how to checkout a laptop. She'll figure it out.

To save any work related hassle i would answer work related stuff only. Other than that no contact is what it is. Bo contact. If you told her how and she can't remember that isn't your fault or problem.

If a woman is an "EX" that means she doesn't matter any more. The only women who matter are women you are actively f*cking.

If she is your EX then the relationship is over. So why are you making a thread about a woman who you're not f*cking and who doesn't give a sh!t about you? Focus your time, energy and attention on something important. On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being "important" I would put Ex girlfriends at -10 right below celebrity gossip and the latest children's book.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
