"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 didn't realize it then (cause I was HOPELESS AFC, now I'm still pretty AFC, but have some hope).

Senior year in high school, a girl went into the corner to change into her band uniform (I was a hardcore bandee, still am, except nowadays noone gives me shyt about it). She calls me over and tells me to turn around and block other people from seeing her strip down to her undies to change. She tells me she chose me because she knows I'm a nice guy and wouldn't sneak a peak.

And I didn't.

When I look back, I get so PISSED that I was considered the safest guy in the room and the guy who would be LEAST likely to take advantage of a situation like that. Wouldn't happen now, but DAAAAAAAMN!!!!!
 

"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.

This is bad because I bet she thinks you like guys for not looking.

Well that was a long ass time ago, but you're probably right. She probably may have thought that.

Of course, if you did sneak a peek, and she didn't happen to be attracted to you, then you'd be typing this from prison.

I have one that tops it all:

You are a hopeless AFC when your wife plots to kill you, gets caught, and you support her through the whole trial and incarceration.

That beats paying $17,000 ad to apologize.
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

Howzabout this one...

One poor sap had a marriage proposal skywritten ... and the gal not only ditched him, but sued him for public embarrassment.
