"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.

Who has seen this movie? What did you think of it? Very weird, but a pretty cool concept even though it could never work in reality.

Thoughts?
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

I've only seen the original, a korean movie called 'Il Mare'.

Yeah, the concept was cool... Kinda like that movie with Jim Caviezel, 'Frequency' or so.

I don't know how it ended in the american version, but I didn't get it in the Korean. I mean, he dies runned over by a car, but he shows up to the girl in the past? Meh, I think I'm going to see it again to sort this out.

Yeah its odd. I think it must be the same as the Korean version. Cause at the end, he does get hit by a car, but since she sees the future, she tells him this just in time, so he just goes to look at her, and then does not cross the road. He waits 2 years to see her after that. Its a very very strange movie. Would be interesting to hear some of the movie buffs on this site take on it. See what exactly they thought the whole point of it was and how it exactly all fit together. Its not until I read their reviews that I actually get exactly what was meant to be happening in the movie.

One more thing, how crazy is the house! Looks awesome, but fukc you would get woke up early in the morning due to the sun, and damn you would get sunburnt! All that glare off the lake!

I had a girl all over me when I saw it so, I have no idea what happened.....nor do I care.
Your cool. Thanks for your insight.

But I see where your coming from, when I was 16, I may have said the same thing.
 

"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.
