"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

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.

A tricky situation?

I'm usually good at making decisions, but however, I've come across to a situation that is proving to be a tricky one to answer myself. So I'm interested to read what you have to say.

I'll keep it simple.

At my local hairdressing store, they've employed a nice looking young lady (nothing mind-blowing) who is learning the trade by the elbow when I went in to book an appointment.

With an appointment booked for next week and she will be involved towards the end, as part of her assessment. I thought I would ask her out. No harm in asking.

Sounds simple? Unfortunately it wasn't when I got home after deciding to take a break from further education. My mother has just recently, by coincidence, become her first client who will attend one day a week for a blow dry. And, unsurprisingly, my youngest sister also has an appointment booked in a fortnight's time with her.

Regrettably, I tend to feel, given the situation as it is, might be an imposition to ask and to some degree, an uncomfortable situation.

What should I do? Give it a miss and seek elsewhere as there are plenty more in the pond? Or am I being silly?
 

"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.

To quote the great Gretysky "You miss 100% of the shots you never take."

Mmm. I can just conceive my mother returning back there and to discover that, if she accepted my offer the week before '' Your son has asked me out!'' Not exactly reassuring is it?

I agree with the above. But I think it is important that you remain calculated in order to minimise unnecessary consequences. Think twice, do once.:up:

I think I can do it. Depending on how it goes and if I feel the present situation is good at the time, I'll the toss bait and see.

Any more suggestions or tips?
