"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.

Curious, when do you call after a good date. Her last words were "i had a great time, we'll have to do it again." I was thinking about calling and telling her I had a nice time and would love to do it again, but not setting up an actual date. Then getting off the phone and not chatting too much.
 

"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.

What would be the added benefit of calling just to reaffirm that you had a good time? Isn't that redundant? Didn't she say it herself? Think about it, her last words were "I had a great time, we'll have to do it again." and you plan on calling her and telling her the exact same thing and nothing else??? :rolleyes:

You wouldn't repeat the things that she says if you were sitting across the table from her, it would sound AFC and silly. Don't do it now. OK, she had a good time, you had a good time, now do something about it. If you are going to call her, just set up a another meeting.

ok, i can TOTALLY relate to this, a guy did that to me, bascially, he told me he had a great time and we should do it again SOMETIME. He called the next day and left this as a message. It makes me think that he had a good time but since he didnt set up an actual date, that he is just leaving his options open in case he decides he want to go out. I wouldve been much happier if he actually made a plan!

In other words a guy who's decisive.

The exact same thing just happened to me. While I was in the shower, the girl I dated last night called and left me a message saying that she hopes I had a good time because she did, and she hopes that we will "talk soon".

I called back, which was 5 minutes later, and her sister told me she wasn't home. That's a bit weird...

Anyways I would've called to set-up another meeting as soon as possible, just like the above posters said.

Don't call without a desired outcome. Don't call "just to say it was a nice date"

Call to set up a date
Call to remind her of yourself and keep the feelings, if you're not dating her for 2+ weeks
Call her to say that she's free of you and you're fukkin other girls now

DO NOT call just for the sake of calling
