"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.

"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.

Why?
I shout out to my friends always. Leave it on my answering machine exactly what I'm going to be doing that night. If I can that open with what other people do, imagine what I am keeping secret
Why should we not publish the names of places we're going to be?
Rockstars do it.... blah blah blah "playing at the blah stadium" Coming March 1st, be there!
I think Sutra means don't post the places you went on a public forum! If someone should happen by that happened to notice you at a certain bar, or perhaps you had GAMED them...it wouldn't be hard to put 1+1 together. Just safer IMO. Of course I shout out to my friends where I'm going to be.Originally posted by ethnomethodologist
