"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.
Should I get a tattoo?

"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.

This is semi-relevant.
You're "nearly 18". I knew a guy a few years back who was about 18 or 19 and he decided to get a tattoo. He wanted to show his undying devotion for his girlfriend, so he was going to get her name inked into a tattoo on his arm (or maybe chest, I forget). Anyway, I told him, "Dude, if you guys ever break up, you're gonna have to get a girl with the same name as your ex always."
And he's like, "No, we'll never break up."
And I said, "Okay dude. Whatever."
So he got the tattoo.
And a few short months later, they split up. And I haven't talked to him in years, but I'll bet that f*cker is still looking for a new girlfriend named Khrystal (spelled like that).
Dumbass.
So the moral is -- THINK ABOUT IT, for God's sake.

never tattoo a name of a girl you are dating on yourself... it's like a curse.
Getting a tattoo in memory of people, like fathers, veterans, are always good and something you will never regret.
Remember this is going to be with you when you die... and every day up until that point... make sure you're 1000 percent sure.
Some guy thought he was sure he wanted a Swastica on his neck, with the no smoking circle going around it in red. Well now he wants to be an elementary school teacher, he's getting the tattoo removed slowly, the Red is fading, so now there's a glaring swastica on his neck, he starts teaching in August... think about it.

"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.
Just turning 18 I was faced with the same question.Originally posted by Scaramanga86

For a while I thought it would be a cool thing to do, hell I even designed my own tat. I still think it looks cool but ultimately I decided that the Cool factor would wear off way before the tatoo would.
I know hindsight is 20/20, but when you're 80 do you really want some stupid tatoo on your back? No you won't.
I know a kid that got master cheif tatooed on his back. That idiot was regretting it 6 months later.
What I would recomend.
-Wait a while, 6 months to a year. Look at other peoples tatoos. Look at how you perceive them because of the tatoo.
-Weigh the benefits. Will this embarass my parents/family. Will it affect my ability to get a good job. Will I regret it later in life.
-Attitudes come and go, but that tatoo doesn't. Is this some fad thats gonna fade out, or is it something that has a deep meaning to me.
If you can honestly answer those confidently, then go ahead and get it. If you can't you will regret it.

True point, if you're going to get a tat, Scaramanga86, I would recommend designing one yourself that has a deep meaning (or getting someone who can draw and have him/her design it) and consider the location of the tattoo i.e. shoulder, the lower back, etc. someplace the tattoo can be easily concealed if you had to conceal it.-Attitudes come and go, but that tatoo doesn't. Is this some fad thats gonna fade out, or is it something that has a deep meaning to me.

Haha, that's hilarious.And a few short months later, they split up. And I haven't talked to him in years, but I'll bet that f*cker is still looking for a new girlfriend named Khrystal (spelled like that).
On a similar note, back in high school, I almost got a Chicago Bulls logo tattooed on my arm, so glad I didn't lol, bulls lose game after game now.
