Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
Let me get this straight, one if your coworkers has already stood up for you to your job superior and now you want to know if you should b|tch at the superior also ?
The trainer is not a superior to me in terms of how we classify jobs at where im at. He is equal to me. My coworker confronted the trainer once and the trainer still shows me disrespect in how he talks to me. I have some days coming up in which it will just be me and the trainer working one on one. I basically wanna know how I should handle this when it comes up again. I can pretty much guarantee he will continue raising his voice with me. My coworkers talk with him didnt change the situation.
My qualifications actually outrank my trainer but I am not a superior to him. He is just basically showing me the ropes.
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.
