"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.

Ok this is a quirky New Years Resolution post but I was thinking that those that want to post their resolutions on here can keep each other accountable if they come across a post in which they see their brother slipping. Ill start...

Effective immiedately, I will trust the wisdom of my gut, not the rationalizations of my brain or the urges of my ****.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

I have attempted to do something similar on another message board, but barely anyone maintained accountability for their resolutions. In fact, most did not meet them. For that reason, I mostly dislike the concept of a resolution since 99% of people refuse to follow them....whats the point?

I believe I can achieve the goals set forth below.

My List

1- Read a few books. They have already been shipped, I would like to finish them in 2008.

2- Career Change. I want a significant pay raise.

3- Talk to more women in public - not bars/ parties. Admittingly, I am still pretty reserved in public, as I don't do much deviating from the work/ social routine throughout the year. This will be a challenging, interesting development, and I have already started - who needs a stupid day to wait to start something worthwhile?

4- get laid more.
