"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.

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

"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.

Finishing up my degree, so working part-time and studying full-time.

Working in a Real Estate Investment firm, specializing in insurance for high net-worth clients.

Bringing home $540/pw, however some weeks I have to work full-time where I bring in about $1100/pw. Once I graduate, that will go north to $1500/pw. In 3-5 years that will go north to around $2,300/pw ... If I choose to stay in the industry. Honestly it's not very fun right now, kinda boring and difficult at the same time.

Pays the bills. :up:

A little off topic I guess ...

If it ain't broke don't fix it.

Lots of weapons systems work fine just the way they are.

I'm flattered brother. I majored in business with a minor in insurance. Quit halfway through my MBA cuz I got sick of it. I started college late as I was in the Army. Just wanted to go to work, and I did.

Kinda sounds like you should get your CPA. I have a good buddy who is a CPA. He eventually went out on his own and started his own firm. He makes tons of money and is worth several million for sure.

What do you want to do with your education? You can pm me if you wish.
 

"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.

I never did like working for someone else, so I did all kinds of things to avoid it. I worked for an employer for about 4 years out of 30.

Most of the time I've been renovating and building. Bought a few houses and at one time was an indoor gardener of exotic substances. :whistle:
I'm not rich, but I always set my own schedule and rarely get that Monday morning dread that a lot of people seem to.
