"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.

Back to the subject at hand without writing a novel, I went on a brisk 25 mile ride yesterday through the city completely strapped with heart rate monitor, speedometer, power meter, caloric calculator, the works. Giving the stopping and starting at stop lights and such, it took an hour and fifteen minutes with an 18MPH average with a top speed of 31MPH and burned 1243 calories.

Yes, it's about the energy expended; as for time spent, distance, effort and such road cycling rips apart running. Now don't get me started on what mountain biking does for 'ya! :up:
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

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.

Riding ur bike is much better for u, you have to do more work but it's worth it. If you weigh more than 160 running long distance will put too much strain on ur legs and will lead to joint problems like my uncle. Running short like 1-3 miles maybe just during the summer is fine but more than 5 isn't good. Running long distance also kills ur muscle and fat at the same time so if u want to get in shape do CARDIO like swimming.

That's what I'm saying. :up:
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.
