"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.

My name is cruise and I am an AFC.

There. Step 1. Got it off my chest.

I've been lurking through the fora and the DJ Bible on and off since being introduced to it by a friend several years ago. I've learned plenty and have been improving myself tremendously since I first found this community. I'm going on 21 and am no longer the terrible AFC I was in high school. I've had success in various contexts, but am still far far away from being anywhere near a DJ.

I'm starting my junior year (sort of) in uni and I've just transfered in to a new school in a new town chock full of new opportunities. However, I'm pretty sure I can't go it alone. I just finished reading through a whole stack of old posts out of the Bible and I'm refreshing my outlook on life (some of Pook's stuff is GENIUS!), but I'm almost certain that if I don't make a serious commitment to self-improvement, I'll just end up back where I started. I'm registering now to share my sentiments and hope to glean some bits of wisdom from the fellas here who are greater men than I.

Here's to making a commitment to personal growth and achievement in all walks of life. Hope you guys can keep me on the straight and narrow ;)
 

"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.
