"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.

Hi DJs,

I must admit I'm not the sueavest man out there and appreciate the fact you're helping me become one!!!

My question:
If I happen to bump into my ex, or better yet, if she approaches me at the gym..

Wouldn't I come across as being "hurt" if I act tough…if I said something like: "I have nothing to talk to you about", or not even acknowledge her presence?

Some friends suggest I should act like nothing's happened (but distant)...happy-looking rather than upset (hurt).

Wouldn't being cool (not friendly) and worry-free mess her pride up more?

Thanks! Rene
 

"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.

I hate running into ex-s, no matter if you're over them or not it's usually uncomfortable and there's always the question of how to act.

But I agree with your friends. Be cool and indifferent, but polite too. You'll feel genuinely good afterwards too.

You're not dating her; she's just another woman.
