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.
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.
You do fun stuff often, but not all the time. Go out with her, forget about her a little bit, go out with her again. Leave her thinking "how did I do?"Originally posted by Maeisgood
Hard to get
You are supposed to act like you are not interested. It has been said to offically be "going out" you have to do stuff often. How do you do both?

These "kiss test" things seem like random kissing. The "right moment" seems hard to find. If I randomly kiss her neck, cheek, or lips then she might go "WTF are you doing?!" and then everyone'll find out how I got by butt handed to me AND was vagina-whipped. It would leave a Scarlet-letter scar. It might drive future women away from me. Women spread news like bird flu.
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.
All of the times I've kissed girls I basically just grabbed my balls (although feeling nervous inside), and did it.Originally posted by Maeisgood
Good points.
It seems hard to live a brash thing like that down and recover.
Does anyone have a story about a successful kiss test and an unsuccessful one?
