"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.

I thought I was on the right track. I really did. I've been trying to improve myself for the past year that I've been involved with this site. Various events lately show that while I may be better off than when I started, I still have not gotten rid of my true problem.

I realize now that this whole time I was trying to break through the thick shell of my own timidness. Inside the shell, there is a confident, smart, witty man who knows what he wants and isn't afraid to pursue it.

I can feel this shell around me. It has been called the comfort zone. I need to get rid of it to be who I really am.

I challenge myself to destroy this shell by doing something outside my comfort zone every day from now on. If you feel like I do, I invite you to do the same and post about it here.


Tomorrow: I'm a lifeguard. During our break, all us lifeguards jump off the diving board. Many of the other lifeguards are real daredevils and do flips and ****. Ive always been too much of a ***** to try it. Tomorrow I'll do a few flips off the diving board. It may be small, but it is definitely outside my comfort zone.
 

"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, well i did a few flips today... it wasnt as bad as I thought it would be, but it hurt like hell when I landed straight on my back. I gotta work on that.

I dont have any ideas yet for tomorrow.

looking down the road though, I just read that post about an open mic performance and I'd have to say that sounds like a good idea. I'm good at guitar and this is definetly outside my comfort zone.
