"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.

When chicks joke about being bf/gf, is it an IOI?

I'm sure many of you can relate to such a situation or have seen it. I've had several female friends who would joke with me about us being a couple. We hang out a lot and are pretty close but not on a romantic level.

I pretty much interpreted that as being a sign that we're in the friend zone. But what do you guys think?

Does the fact that she's joking about it indicate that the prospect of a relationship is absurd? Or is it a subtle way of hinting that she's interested and wants to be something more than friends?
 

"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.

It depends on the context. But I think most of the time it isn't an IOI. That's just from my own personal experience.

I always thought that they would only joke about it if they truly didn't care about a relationship.
