"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.

How often do you guys do this, outta curiosity? Or do you avoid them at all costs?

I tend to enjoy them, it's a change from action-orientated outings that I do with male friends, I also find that it helps practice my conversation skills

Depending on how busy I am, I tend to do this at least once a week, although sometimes its not one on one.
 

"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.

Always.

I'm kind of a coffee snob, so as far as I'm concerned, if we go out for coffee, you're on my home turf. I'm comfortable in coffee shops, I wind up knowing the people who work there, and the ones I go to have great atmosphere - perfect for one on one conversations.

If you are ok being friends with them, it's fine. I have a few female friends that I really like. I wouldn't F them, but I like their company. So we meet up sometimes.

I hang out with female friends pretty often. We don't usually hit a coffee shop though. It's usually in a group and we hangout at someone's place or go to a bar. It's great practice for game and conversational skills. I actually wound up hooking up with two long time female friends I practiced game on.
