Then you'll both have bad breath...Problem solved.Albatross953 said:I'm not sure whether I want to laugh or puke.
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.

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
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.
What daƒuck did you think was going to happen?Die Hard said:Sent her a text asking if she wanted to go for drinks.
She replied: "A few weeks ago, I would've immediately said yes but I've been dating a guy since one month so I don't think it'd be right to meet up with you as well. Hope you understand!"
My vote is for #3:Die Hard said:*UPDATE*
Ran into this chick again a few weeks ago. No bad breath this time, so I went for her number haha. She acted quite interested that night and was happy to give up the number.
Didn't do anything with it until today. Like I said before, her face is so-so and this didn't make me eager to pursue her. But her body is awesome so I thought what the hell, let's try to get into those panties... Sent her a text asking if she wanted to go for drinks.
She replied: "A few weeks ago, I would've immediately said yes but I've been dating a guy since one month so I don't think it'd be right to meet up with you as well. Hope you understand!"
Just curious how you guys would play this. Just brush it off with "Cool, no problem" and leave it at that? Or try to push a little harder by saying something like "Who said we were going on a date? There's nothing wrong with two people just having drinks and talking to each other, right?"
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.
