"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Any ways to get rid of it faster? I went on a hiking trip and without realizing it got ivy on my hands then on my eyes and nose. Now the whole left side of my face is swollen up pretty bad and my nose is crismon red.
 

"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.

Calemine lotion. Oh, and take baking soda baths...take something like Arm&Hammer baking soda and sprinkle some in a warm bath. That helps with the itching.

I had it REALLY bad 2 years ago, the calemine lotion didn't work all that great and I had to go to the doctor to get some really powerful cream that had stereroids in it I think and it seemed to work, those oatmeal baths also seemed to help a little, they sell them at most stores like WalMart etc.

Went to the eye doctor to make sure that the swelling around my eye wasnt damaging anything and he gave me some steriods and an antibiotic. Then before i went to bed i put some coldsore medicine on the really dry and painful parts and it seems to have reduced it some. Since the coldsore medicine worked im not so sure now that it was Ivy and that it was some sort of infection.
 

"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.
