"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.

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Did you know that Elton John is so nervous before every set that he is literally shaking? About 50% of the time, he is so nervous before he plays that he throws up backstage. Even now.

Ok, he's not my favorite musician ever, but the guy has had a long, rock-solid career, critical success, he's made millions. He rarely makes mistakes in his sets. And yet, there he is, backstage, nervous, puking his 500$ lunch.

The guy has no logical reason to be nervous. Ok, maybe the first few times he had good reason to be nervous as hell: being a musician is really hard! But success after success, law of probability and reason suggest that he should not be nervous anymore.

That is, if emotions were rational.

They're not.

Even the best of the best still get nervous. Even when a woman likes you, you still get afraid that she doesn't.

The only solution is to laugh. That's the only solution. If you think about it, the situation is pretty funny, so it shouldn't be hard. If you get half as much sex as you say, being nervous is totally irrational. It's just plain absurd. It's assigning importance to something that has no inherent importance, and to a girl that has even less importance considering all the others you have lined up.

What I usually do in this situation is imagine an absurd situation where I feel the same thing. That makes me laugh. In this case, I would imagine a girl throwing flowers at me, emailing me all the time, and me asking myself "does she like me? I'm not sure if she likes me." That gets a smile.

Finally, in my life I have found that nervousness is a great sign. It signifies that a big success is about to come my way. I'm only not nervous when I'm about to fail. I make myself nervous on purpose sometimes, if you see what I mean!

Well, as you well know, I'm a chump and a kbj. But maybe I can still say something of worth. Maybe not. It's up to you now.

Best of luck,

Izza
