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 wonder how much of a possibility that is.f283000 said:From a prophecy point of view I always remember what I heard father Wingate from trumpeter's mission say a couple years ago in a radio interview. It has always stayed with me. He spoke of the coming food/race riots but what really got me was that he said the united states would be attacked once it was involved in 3 wars at the same time.
Another war would really stretch our military thin which is what would lead to an attack by our enemies.
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
I do have perspective. You can live in a dream world and believe you will live forever, or you can come to grips with the fact that one day you will die and learn to make every day count.Inquisitus said:Get some perspective man. Make every moment count by ignoring this stuff.
My point about perspective is that you seem to be equating the nuclear threat from N. Korea to the Cold War.Truman181 said:I do have perspective.

Because they don't want to get embroiled in a war they really have no interest in. N. Korea could be worse than Iraq and A-stan. That's a country full of brainwashed people and rough, mountainous terrain.search1ng said:What the **** is stopping America/allied nations from just invading those ****ers and wiping out the government? North Korea is nothing but a fugly leech and it annoys me how such an AFC is toying with everyone else, asking for food and crap. WTF?!
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
They've been friends since before the Korean war. It was actually Chinese reinforcements that forced the UN forces back to the present day border during the Korean War.search1ng said:what the fck does china get out of that alliance anyway. N.Korea gets the protection of China and China gets what, a pain in the ass?
