"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.

I have this little dilemma at the moment.

There is this girl who is just a few weeks short of being 18. I've known her for about 4 years and all this time I thought shes a cool chick. She's mentioned all this time she likes me big time and I kinda like her too.

The problem is that she decided to repeat high school to get her grades up for uni and I am studying to be a high school teacher (3rd/4th year) and worried if word gets out then I am not allowed to ever teach (I haven't done anything physical with this girl AT ALL). The legal age of consent is 16 and she is nearly 18. I am 22.

I was just hangin out with her tonite and she mentioned she wanted to kiss me but she didn't want me to get in trouble and eventually ruin our friendship. I wanted to do something but wasn't sure if it would be against policy on becoming a teacher, and Ive worked hard for this degree.

I was wondering if there a teacher here on sosuave who knows this area. ( High School Teacher in Queensland, Australia). Any help or guidance would be great.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

Do you work at the school she is studying at?

Are you on the schools payroll?

Nope. I used to work there but she wasnt studying there. I only went there for a week for placement (like work experience/assignemnt).

I mean shes also a barmaid at the local nightclub. And shes nearly 18. If she was just any other girl who wanted me then she would have just went on to kiss me regardless whether I would ge kicked out of uni if word gets out. But she was very considerate and held back.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
