"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

You could eat off of my floor, though I don't reccomend it. Might die from some disease.

But seriously, my room is clean, though if people are over, they would probaly be more likely to hang in the living room, as my room is freaking small.

But it is uber organized, because all my computer stuff, and other junk is in my closet.
 

"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.

Well obvioiusly, clean it up, organize your workspace, get any food containers out, and any food, burn some candles to get a nice scent, maybe repaint the walls, clean the carpet, some nice sheets, and nice blankets, just mainly organize everything, and keep it that way.

I need to look at the pictures again. Ok, so you need to organize everything, and especially the clothing, sell stuff that you don't want to keep, organize some more, don't stop, clean the carpet, clean the walls, or cover them up with some posters, or something, just cover the space, make it smell nice, organize any loose cables you might have lying about, and you should be jet set.

organize - k
clothes - need to put somewhere unmessed up
carpet - must clean room of all bs
walls - tape must die, might retouch crap spots, might look into suitable painting/poster to supplement a wall.
cables - big issue, needs to be addressed badly (speaker)

Depends on the day.. some days everythings all nice in alpha order and all that jazz but then other days I'll get some crazy project in my head and I devote my full attention to it at the expense of organization.

Doc, I think your first priovity would be getting a rather large trash bag and cleaning up the place.. poster is a good idea.

Curious:

Is that a sideways chair in front of the car seats?

I'm gonna start wroking on stuff down here, I'll post back when I'm done in a few months.
 

"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.

I think that you need "areas"... Like section off a computor area, confine all computor related possesions to the computor area, have a "relax" area, chairs (*please please please not the crappy one- at least put a throw over that thing!*), TV, couch, etc- do you have a floor plan of where stuff is? Cause you can use couches and things to sort of cut a room in half...

STORAGE is a major issue here too- bookshelves, boxes, cabinets- anything to organise it all!

Also, pannelled walls only make it look dark, and make the room look smaller.


Ps. Does "changing rooms" air in the US?

what, mine?

even if not:
I'm really retarded for doing that, it's where I dump small zips of progs, text files, shortcuts, other small stuff.

At one point, I had the WHOLE screen covered, it was awesome.

I want windows to have list view for desktop..bastards.

I'm rearranging stuff right now.. **** are desks heavy. I'm moving the couch in front of the TV unit and moving the TV unit where the folding table with the printers on it is, the desk and printers and all that computer stuff is going off into the other part of the basement that wasn't really pictured in my first post. I'll post pictures in a few hours when I get done.

My desktop has no icons on it, as shown here, but thats just personal preference: http://www.theabworld.com/mypad/ScreenShot026.jpg

Oh and a tip... never ever ever get cats as pets... I've been cleaning up after the damn things for the past hour.
 

"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.

I've been wanting to code my own version of the windows shell, this way...I don't need icons, I don't need a start menu and I don't get the crashing that explorer has.
