"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 got a problem: I can't go out. Why? Simple. My parents don't let me go out at night and I live 5 kilometers away from town, in the middle of nothing (so I'm forbidden to walk till where I want to go).

I just refused another invitation to go out this night... What can I do? :(
 

"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.

Are you retarded... what do u think you do? GO OUT ANYWAYS does your parents have to know your "going out with ur buddies to drink and do drugs" NO.. tell em your going to the gym and will be back later or just sneak out and get ride from your friend. Or you can do small steps then gain their trust so they let you go out.

Peter, he has integrity. Lying to your parents doesn't equal "cool."

I'd suggest that you stick with girls around your school. Attempt to do things during the day-light hours. In fact, i'm sure that MANY girls are in the same situation as you are! I'm sure in about 3 years your parents will allow you to have a night-life. But for now, try to plan things according to the daylight hours.

Yeah... You're right. I'll stick out with girls at day-light time.
As you said, some girls also have this problem, and the girl I'm after has the same problems, so maybe it won't be that bad. Thanks for the support...

@Peter_ Thanks for the advise, but as
DJ4Real, I have integrity. x)

If you can't go to the action, bring the action to you.

In other words, invite friends and girls to your place.

Actually my parents are the best cuz they trust me and I trust them. Which is why they let me go out all night and sleep over for few days at my friends house. I just hate the parents who seclude you from society and think everyone is a bad influence, you gotta learn sometime how to interact with different kinds of people and lucky for me my parents gradually made me used to it. So don't f*cking make assumptions and add retarded comments that's not helpful to the thread you AFC.

I don't hate you man, just calm down. It's just not cool to tell someone to disobey their parents tho. I see where you're coming from, just don't throw assumptions at me too

Like someone said, just go out during the day and maybe your parents will ease up if you earn their trust...when you say they won't let you out at night, does that count for dances too?

Yeah, dances too... Here, dances often means alcohol and stuff. :rolleyes:

The only place I'm allowed to go is to the cinema or to have dinner out, but I'm always dependent if my father is in the mood to pick me up or not, 'cause if he don't, he won't let me go, anyways. I can only be at this places only till 0.00.
