"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.

My throat has become infected again and although I've been prescribed some antibiotics it still hurts.

What can I do to reduce the pain until the medicine takes effect?

Narcotic pain relievers are out of the question.
 

"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.

Sorbet! Sherbert! Frozen fruit bars! Ice cream!:D I had the same thing last year and lived off this stuff for over a week. I hope you feel better soon!

P.S. You might want to try "Chloroseptic" spray (sp?). It numbs your throat for a while but it tastes like crap.:p

drink a cup of warm tea to soothe it and will numb a little.

suck on peppermint candy. *peppermint is one of those healing herbs for sore throats and infections, however the candy will just be a soother.

and since i am a momma you know i have to tell you to eat chicken noodle soup .

get lots of rest and do not forget to drink lots of fluids like water so you do not get dehydrated even tho it hurts to drink.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

heres a alternative to red mafia's technique which i think works much better, gargle with cider vinegar, the acidity kills the germs.
