"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.

Problem with my friends

Hey guys. Well, since I've turned 21 there's kind of been a dilemma. Most of the guys I hang out with aren't 21 yet, and well I really haven't seen them much since I've been able to go to the bars. We were all really good friends and I feel like this is kind of hurting it. To them it seems like I'm ditching them, but I don't want to just "chill" anymore, I want to go clubbin' with some other people. What should I do/say to my buds?
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Whose problem is it, yours or theirs? If they're your buds they won't hold you back. Besides they should be turning 21 relatively soon, right? If not, WTF are you doing hanging around children anyway! :nono:

They're about a year younger than me.
If they can't hang out on their own for that short amount of time; well, let's just say it's good that you want to get out on your own.

Around here in the metro Atlanta area there are clubs where youngsters can get in, but of course they cannot drink. Look around your area and see if they exist. If you live in the sticks this may be a problem for you... oh wait a minute, for them.

If your friends are turning 21 soon then hopefully they'll be joining you, besides they shouldn't tell you what to do.
