"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.

This must be an OK Cupid thing, but I had come across a woman that got my attention because she said she in her profile was going to the same concert event that I was.

Turns out she said she's engaged (even shows her fiance' in some of her pics) but is using the site to make friends. She's not polyamorous, nor looking for a three-some or something on the side, but is legitimately looking to make friends.

I asked her about this, and in fact, she's actually made non-romantic friends this way. I suggested trying Meetup.com, but she said where she lives...they tend to dry up or she doesn't really "gel" (same mind-set) of the group.

I dunno, isn't there just something a little off about people who use dating sites to make just friends, isn't there? As if they've exhausted all options of meeting people the traditional way?

Personally, I think there's something rather beta about her fiance' even letting he do this.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.
