"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.

I'm facing a dilemma involving two of the girls I like. Girl A is interested in me, and we have a date tomorrow. Whereas girl B is crazy about me. Normally I'd ask them both out and see who I get along with better, but I don't know how well that'd go over seeing as how they're good friends with each other. I don't want to break anyone's heart, and I'm at a loss for what to do next. Help!
 

"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.

Go on a date with both.

You said they're good friends; ask if they want to do something, just the three of you. Don't make it sound like a date, make it a group hanging out kind of thing. During the date, set yourself up as the prize, make them squabble over you. Make sure that you keep them competing for your attention, rather than having the two of them talking to each other and cutting you out.

In retrospect, I may have overreacted. This may be a sticky situation, but it's nothing I can't handle.

Just figured I'd check back in to say that this issue has officially been resolved. It didn't turn out the way I thought it would, but I have no regrets.
 

"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.
