"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.

not sure why but my mom or dad that im not in the traids or any gangs. or do drugs.
for some reason they always think i am. they always ask who phoned and i say a friend and they want to now how i met them, where i met them, what they do, if they are chinese or not, blah blah....if a friend does come over and i hardly do invite friend or friends to come over they would intrerogriate them. by pretty much asking them the same question i said above and maybe more. i go to my friends house and their parents just leave me alone-no questions but just a simple hello.

i come home from work and i finish at 4 30 and sometime i meet with friends or friend or even an aquaitance im hoping later to be a friend or gf and i would come home at 7 -since we go have dinner or just walk around.
when i get home they would question me the same stuff as mention in the above. where did you go? who did you hang out with? you not doing gang stuff are you. your not dealing or smuggling drugs right? your not doing drugs right? for sake why do they even think always negative about me and think its always i am in gang or doing some illegal gang stuff or smoke dope. is it too much chinese drama tv shows.
i mean if i was a gangster i would be rich and not doing the job im doing or dressing so poor and just busing. gang guys are rich, well the one i knew from friend of friend from work has a SLR Mercedes and is like 20 years old.
for sake i dont even smoke and hardly even drink. lol its just too expensive. come to the point i just joke around and say yep just shooting ppl around in my ak 47 with the traids, next day i might say got traded to the yakuzas and will me pimping babes. lol

why is it everytime a girl phone my folks assume its a white girl, ah white girls dont or hardly date us asian chinese guys. why they do assume its a gwai low mui(assuming the worst) and not an asian or chiense girl-maybe thinking they wont even look at me

Relax. It might comfort knowing that a lot of asian parents living in the west ( who moved to the west during their post-teenage years ) are like that.

as a part asian woman, my mom though i joined a gang when i bought a nice gold chain.

Bling Bling!

Lol
 

"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.
