"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.

Hey everyone, I've been reading alot about being a DJ and how not to be an AFC.

We all know girls love the DJs.

I'm just wondering about how to deal with this girl which whom I am currently seeing. I want to be a DJ but also show flashes of being a gentleman and do some nice things for her once in a while.

Does being nice, put me back in AFC territory? I guess I'm confused between maintaining a DJ disposition all the time, and when to be a respectable gentleman.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

We're always in the 49% to 51% margin between nice guy and assh*le, myself leaning to the latter.

How about being yourself and how you want to be and eff all this fake sh!t.

By the way, lots of guys do the gentlemanly thing to great effect, especially if they are doing it sincerely, as it sounds like you would. Just as long as you don't lose your self respect, and remember you are a man. It also helps to have multiple options.
