So this Jamie girl who I'm friends with is leaving and I said "What you aren't even gonna say bye to me?" blah blah, she stops and we start talking. So I say she has to give me a high five and she says okay. So I play with that for a while, she high fives but I miss on purpose, just for the hell of makiing things interesting. Then I'm like "Okay, for real this time" and we do the high five. I'm like yeah and I hug her. So I swear when we hugged we were so close we could've kissed if we wanted to and she even randomly said "You look fabolous today" and I'm like thanks and say bye to her as she goes. So could I have gone for it?
"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.
Could I have gone for the kiss?

"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.

Yes. You probably could have tapped it.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

You fumbled the snap, picked it up, fumbled the handoff, picked it up, and then you somehow found a way to Tony Romo/Kevin Dyson yourself at the one yard line.
This is pretty much the equivalent of fumbling the snap on a kneel down to force overtime, and the other team running it back all the way.
Just Do it

Could you have gone for the kiss? I would have to say no. The reason I say that is because of the first sentence in your thread. You said,"This girl Jamie who I'm friends with". Unless I'm mistaken, you have already established the kind of relatonship you have with this girl, and it's platonic.
If you had just recently met this girl, then maybe it would have been possible.
But if you have been friends with her for while, then no.

That convo seems really awkward to me. I mean you ask her to say bye to you and then you ask her for a "high five"? I mean what the hell is that... A high five?! dude that's lame. Maybe this girl is just really ugly or desperate but I highly doubt you could have gone for the kiss. I bet she wanted to get out of there as fast as possible. It sounds like you forced the whole thing.
but what do I expect from someone in the school band...

"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.

LMAO, 95% of his "successful" field reports end in the high 5. It's his trademark move.sprint said:
