"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.

The most awful feeling. Going back to the start.

One month. One month spent dating the most beautiful, chill girl in the school. Th first time we kissed I fell in love. She was so passionate and fierce; she kissed me like I've never been kissed before. I'm not exaggerating; before we made out, before I fingered her I just thought she was a pretty thing. After, i was infatuated. Of course i didnt let her know. But inside, i knew i was in love. And today she broke up with me. I can't imagine how I will get over her. I'm angry because I felt our relationship collapsing. Her kisses weren't enthusiastic anymore; she avoided me in the halls. Today, she flaked for the 2nd time, and I confronted her about it. She was nice, but that made the rejection even sicker - I can't get mad at her.
I'm so lost. I know exactly what I did wrong. I was no longer funny; when we talked, I became a sober philosopher instead of a masculine man. I ****ed up after prom. I don't have a strong social proof in school. I know I need to get over it, but right now it feels impossible.
 

"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.

Take a day to soak in your sorrows. Do whatever ****ty thing you'd do after a break-up - write poetry, play your guitar, cry in a corner, whatever.

Then, the next day, stop, because it's a new day and **** it.

Be your own well of happiness. There is infinite happiness within you.

She cannot make you happy. You make you happy.

I made plans with another girl and she ended up flaking. I'm just getting ****ed everytime this week. Jesus.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

I suppose I did the right thing in not textin her asking where she was? I'm just going to pretend I forgot about it and didn't go.

I have gained something out I this. And that is, no matter how much it hurts afterwards, the pain of inaction and regret was far greater.

Ok, here the valuable lesson I learned. Don't ever show PDA until you're deep in the relationship. She tells me shes just afraid of commitment and that explains so much. I was icing this girl way too much love.
