"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 am currently seeing this girl and we have hung out a total of 3 times. The first time was just a casual first time meeting with the friends that hooked us up. The second time we all went to a few bars. The 3rd time was the first time that either one of us weren't drinking and we decided to go to a movie, just the two of us. The night ended with a long kiss between us and there was a lot of touching but neither one of us pushed the envelope with the areas of touching.

I am someone who like to take things slow but I keep on reading all stuff that If I do take things slow I could very easily slip into the friends or too nice guy zone. I do not want to do that. Do all of you agree I currently am in dager of doing that?

If so, what next, and specific suggestions?

Oh I am trying to build a LTR.
 

"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.

Just keep progressing. Next time make it at least 2 long kisses and get just a tad feely. The third date, keep pushing the envelope. You will get it

"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.

that fact that you're asking that question (e.g. disaster) raises a yellow flag as to your mind set. you are in the "i don't want to fvck this up" mind set. which of course leads me to believe that you don't have any other options available. which is cool, just keep that in mind.

but chicks usually don't kiss a dude that they've put into the friend zone, so it seems you're cool.

fvck her the first chance you get, if that's what you want to do. don't go out on any more "dates" with her and her friends. isolate her until you close the deal.

There is nothing wrong with taking things slow. The bottom line is that you are still taking things somewhere, as opposed to a nice guy who gets put in the friendzone for not taking anything at all.. keep up the good work and maintain your pace...
