"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.

Sleeping well??

"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.

When I can't sleep, I come on here and read through a few of my old threads, works a treat:D

Pillows are personal, your gonna have to experiment. Think of a time when you slept well, what were the conditions, have you changed anything recently?

Usually, going to bed with something bugging you is the worst. If I've got something important on the next day, I can stare at the ceiling for hours. Silly really, wake up next day feeling sh1te.

what's wrong with one? two's uncumfy for my neck

because of weightlifting, i am permanently shattered, so i'll fall asleep any time and sleep till after midday everyday if i don't try to wake up.

i heard milk before bed gets you sleepy.

also, if i'm wearing two pairs of socks, or my feet are really warm, i tend to fall asleep even during the day in a chair, nevermind on the bed.

I have three (because I'm a cheap sh**e and get the type that flattened in a week:) ) The fact you are getting to sleep would seem to indicate that its not the pillows, or are you waking because of a stiff neck? As has been said, experiment with different arrangements.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Interesting, I assume you mean dark circles under the eyes. I have these too and have had for years regardless of my sleep pattern, though obviously worse when not sleeping well. I recall reading somewhere that its hereditary and my mother having them seems to support this.
