"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.

Alright so I've been working on this girl for a while.

Last tuesday: We were supposed to hang out, she called to ask what time to come over. Turns out I had a hair cut, so she said she'd come over Friday.

Friday: I call to ask her what time she's coming over, she says her friend is still over her house. She then says we'll hang out monday.

Monday (today): I call her to see what she's doing. She says she's in my neighborhood, driving by. I go "Oh ok, so what time are you coming over?" She tells me she'll call me back. This was 30 minutes ago.

I'm pretty pissed, I think I'm just gonna next her. I just think it's weird how she's been saying she'll come over on day X, but then for some reason can't. Why would she say she'll come over if she intends not to?
 

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

She's one of those girls who is trying too hard to not shatter your self esteem by being nice, and saying that she'll do things with you and not showing up, rather than just telling you that she isn't interested. Next her.

Tactic #1 is to simply distance yourself and wait for her to close the gap. Don't initiate reactions with her unless it is to "call her back" or something of the sort for a week. If she reinitiates and tries to get together, take her off of probation status. Don't get too frustrated about flakiness unless it becomes a chronic (more than two weeks) condition. You just have to accept that sometimes, there are schedule conflicts that are just unavoidable.
