"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 weather/season where you're at.....

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Why are you talking about the weather in this manner on a forum intended for success with dating? Not quite sure what the purpose is here.

Also sounds like you're in the Midwest; I suggest moving somewhere that doesn't suck.

I just spoke to common sense and they said it's because we're in the "anything else" sub forum.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

The weather is the ultimate small talk and ice breaker topic because it’s something we all can relate to. Nothing at all wrong with discussing it here in Anything Else. Sometimes with chicks i will say “Mother nature is being bi polar again. We got 85 this afternoon and then supposed to get down in the 40s by tomorrow morning “. Here in Illinois this scenario is not uncommon. And I like to joke about it.

Weather change-its finally inthe minus celsius numbers in the morning.
So relieved the hot days are gone.

I had to remind myself how to dress for outdoors physical work in the cold.
As soon as I remembered to slightly underdress to compensate for getting overheated while exercising, then I was ok.

Otherwise, the sweat when I take off the layers would chill me. And then the clothes are too damp to put back on.

I don't know if anyone on this forum works in a physical job outdoors like me.
Weather is very important to us.

It is harvest season near me. Combines everywhere. It has been very dry. The Mississippi river just south of st louis is so narrow that barges are backing up. There is a lot more sand than water.

Wow, that is dry.
I imagine that can get serious if too many barges back up.

Harvest was mostly done about 2 weeks ago here.
They give percentage updates on all radio stations, so even when you're in the city you are connected to the farmers.

Its interesting to me to talk about the weather, you learn so much.
Now when I go back to work after break I'll have this image of what it'd be like to be on a barge behind many other barges on a dried river.
