"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

"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.

Marry the mayor
BY KRISTEN CATES, THE SOUTHERN
CARBONDALE - Brad Cole wants to make one thing clear - he's not desperate for a date. After making a half-joke of a New Year's resolution in the Jan. 1 edition of The Southern Illinoisan to "find someone, fall in love and then get engaged," Carbondale's bachelor mayor is finding a little help from the Web.
No, it doesn't come in the form of Match.com or EHarmony.com. Instead, dates are being solicited for Cole by local Carbondaley Dispatch blogger David More.
More has set up a Web site, www.marry themayor.com, encouraging interested parties to submit an essay in order to win a dream date with the 35-year-old politician.
"It started as a joke when I read the quote," More said. "It just kind of took on a life of its own."
Cole said he was surprised, yet amused, when More notified him of his intentions.
"Evidently there's a committee to get the Mayor married," Cole said. "He, nor the committee, will take over my love life."
He's willing to go along with the idea, but More has yet to solidify what exactly will be included in the date package. It does include dinner and live music at Town Square so far.
According to the site, More is soliciting those who "are of marrying age, and attracted to the tall and slender type, with an offbeat sense of humor, an SUV, his own home, and a recently obtained master's degree in Legal Studies from SIU."
Cole said he's not in the loop on the essay selection process, but it's saving him some money.
"It's cheaper than a personal ad," he said, joking that his ad would solicit people interested in someone who is "somewhat involved in politics."
The deadline for essay submissions is Feb. 14.
More said he would do his best to help anybody interested in getting married - politics aside.
If his essay contest helps Cole achieve his New Year's resolution, he will be thrilled. "It would exceed my expectations," he said.
