"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.

Where would you rather go?

I haven't really traveled internationally in a while (probably 4 years).

I'm making a serious effort to get out of this country this year. I have all these frequent flyer miles to use. Some of these miles are a real ***** to redeem tho but I found some options, so where would you go and why?

1) South Africa - would like to say I have been to every continent and Africa will be a hard one to cross off the list. Also all the nature, beautiful sites, etc. I would try to do some crazy stuff there like maybe a shark dive or safari or whatever. Would be easier I think to get time off work because my boss is from there and also he might know people around there that could show me around. The cost to get there is probably $2200 but I imagine not that expensive to stay. Would stop in London a few days

2) Ireland - no idea why I want to go here other than tickets are available, they have good pubs, guiness and I heard hot HBs. My last gf was Irish mix (but american). I also figure I could hit up London and if time permits maybe some other short flights within Europe like Amsterdam (went there in 2001). Flight will cost me a grand but it will be expensive there with Euros and GBP

If you have some other must see places you think I should really check out let me know I am trying to get ideas and checking availability. I already have plans to try and do South Korea and Australia once I get the miles squared away, with hopefully a little Bangkok stopover (was there 4 years ago).

Thanks

"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.

Are you going on trip alone? Do Ireland. Get drunk and bang some Irish women.

The Irish are some the friendliest and most fun people you will ever find. Among the coolest cultures on the planet in my opinion. Spent a month every summer there growing up. My parents were both born there and, although raised mostly in England, they consider themselves Irish and I guess a tiny part of me does too. Go there for the music and dancing, the seafood and breakfasts, the stout and whiskey, and for the craic.

But don't go there for the women. I'm just saying...

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

I'd go to Ireland, they probably have more redheads.
