"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 was relaxing last night and noticed a show that a HB and I are both fanatics of happened to be on TV at 11pm. For background, we get along very well, great rapport, she tagged along with me to my friend's super bowl get-together this past weekend. Because we were making references to the show in class earlier in the day, I texted her that I found it on TV and that it apparently has a regular time slot.

While we normally get back to each other quite quickly, I didn't hear from her. There's a chance her text was messed up because there was a mark next to her name on my phone, but w/e. Anyway, I get a text at 3:00 AM from her (I forgot to turn off the sound on my phone before I went to sleep), she apologized for not getting back to me, as she just noticed the text then. Obviously, I waited until this morning to make fun of her for it, then briefly clarified how our show is on TV.

There could be a million reasons for it, but...Why would a girl text/try to establish contact at 3am on a weeknight?
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

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.

Seriously. Why over analyze this. Girls do weird things some times, get over it. It means nothing.

Ring her up and tell her to come see this programme with you. Then escalate.

High interest, perhaps?

okok I get it. I didn't think it was anything big. She did text me out of the blue a little while ago explaining why she sent the text though (fell asleep early, randomly woke up and saw it). Interesting, but as you said, really means nothing.
 

"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.

Don't get me wrong, now. This girl might be attracted to you, and even if you aren't sure, you being attracted to her is what really matters. That said, do not waste time analyzing every single little thing girls say and do. Stress and dwelling on that stuff BLOWS.
