"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.

Babysitter excuse

Met up with a chick I knew last week and banged her on the first date. This coming weekend my friends and I are going to a local island to kayak and chill on the beach. I texted the chick told her she was free to tag along. She hit me with "if I can find a babysitter, I'd love to go".

Never been told that before so I'm wondering what the chances are that this is a flake line or if she's being legit. Chick has a week to figure it out.
 

"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.

Sounds legit to me. Remember, babysitters are typically young girls or women, and they can be just as flaky about jobs as they are with dating. Even if she has one set up now, there is always the chance of her cancelling or no-showing.

Yes, many young girls put more value on their dating and social event life than earning a few bucks watching someone else’s kids…

She’s saying that she has a kid and that her coming out depends on the babysitter.

Why go after a single mom?
