"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.
40, very much a cat mom, doesn't want kids, didn't date on her 30s

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

You might as well go for this. This seems like a more realistic option.
Just don't expect it to last forever. If anything, don't underestimate the amount of options that such a woman has.

Not dating "at all" in her 30s would be a red flag. Not that I buy that for a second. But really, any woman who is hot and single past 30 has some at least some latent red flags. Just based on what you're describing, there is no reason to not at least sleep with her and turn her into a plate. Anything more and you need to gather more intel as you spend time together before making that call.
"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.

40 no kids and hot? that's rare
Somehow 40 and hot are mutually exclusive

She is effectively a cat lady, and I don't mean that in a good way.
To your question, enjoy it while it lasts.

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”
Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

That usually means she is a psycho. That's the biggest red flag there is for a woman. That isn't a plus, that's a huge minus.

This is the way.
"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.
Do you have a face that go with that?

I frankly don’t give a f*ck what you think, chances are all of my plates are hotter than anything you could ever get even in the same postal code with. You’ll have to take my word for it, especially since you’re on a board looking for men to pic put a of their fwbs.How do I know she has a good looking face?
The thirst is real.

Don't be surprised if you invite a certain measure of ridicule when trying to brag on the internet. Why did you post that photo to begin with?
