"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.

I’m currently debating with myself right now if I should offer to pay for my fiancee’s parents’ trip or not. They’re flying in to meet my parents and will be staying until our wedding day. My girlfriend and I met through an international brides dating agency. Probably not the most romantic for some but it was actually pretty sweet for both of us. Two years after meeting each other, here we are now, living together and counting the days until we tie the knot. In our 2 years, I’ve only met her parents twice. That being said, I need to know if it’s my obligation to pay for her parents’ trip from Mexico. Even if it’s not, should I still do it?
 

"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.

if they are expected/invited and that trip is something they would never have the means for, yes pay, but dont feel obligated

example, you ask your buddy out to dinner to a super fancy place, 50-75 after meal/drinks, he would likely not go out at 25$
you would certainly pay, you invited him

You probably make way more money than an old Mexican marriage. I would pay if I were you.
