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.
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
You do surprise me HowieI've never had any come right out and say this is what you do that disappoints me, But I've had enough women tell me that I'm not very romantic.![]()
I agree about the dating wrong guys thing. But the self esteem thing.... meh, we've all made unwise choices in our time. That's more often to do with naivete than self esteem though, probably. I've certainly been disappointed myself a few times. Two sides of the same coin.It really means she was disappointed in herself for choosing the wrong type of guys. What she perceived as a great guy turned out not to be. By telling you shes been so disappointed she's covertly seeking you to reassure her you won't disappoint her (that's if you are thinking of dating her). To even be naive to see that they were not great guys from the start may show she has some self esteem issues.
See, we can be friendslol thanks Monkey, I just busted out laughing. Good thing I'm not in charge of creating Valentines Day cards for Hallmark![]()

Prenup.What conditions?
Fantastic attitude towards life, son. Stick to over texting those goopy online girls.Another professional victim.................... looking for Mr Right......but shes Mrs Wrong
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.
Add to that a poor choice making, too. They make the wrong choices and call it dissapointment to get the blame off their shoulders and feel better about themselves LOLIt really means she was disappointed in herself for choosing the wrong type of guys.
