"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.

Okay, mine, would sound silly but it has to be a badminton set. There's usually a group of attractive women working at our hotel that my parents owns here in South East Asia, and all I have to do is ask or order one of them to play with me outside. It's a great chance to not only exercise, have fun, get a few laughs but also practice my game target practice style by conversing and flirting. What about you guys? What's the best purchase you have made so far?
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

A pack of rubbers, a *****, and eight grams of blow.

And a carne asada burrito with extra beans.

A pressure cooker. (Instapot) It has helped me make preparation of meals more efficient for preparing breakfast for my two mobility-restricted elderly parents so I'm able log-in on time for work, able to prepare something decent during a lunch break within a reasonably short time.

I'm intending to continue experimenting with this cooker to see if can take inexpensive food items, like rice/pasta/beans/sauce, and create great dishes in a short amount of time. That could save us allot of money if the experiment is successful and could be the next game changer for this home.
