"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.

I was at work earlier today and I was thinking about taking a certain girl out somewhere this weekend. So I figured we go out and eat or whatever comes to my mind at the time.

But the thing I'm wondering about is this: Everyweekend where I live there is always some kind of party going on. I mean sure, we could go eat and a movie or something of that nature but I think it would also be fun to go show her off a little around my friends. The only thing is my friends are a little bit immature compared to me (not bragging) and I can never tell what they might say in front of this new girl.

Which I'm not saying I'm insecure or anything (Idon't think) I just don't want somebody saying something that would embarrass me. Something that would otherwise make me laugh you see, but I'm with this new girl and I don't want them to say something stupid.

I do know how to act around women when I'm with my friends, but not right off the bat when I first meet them. Maybe I should just keep it me and her for the first date?
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

I guess I will just keep it me and her for the first date because I have been in situation where someone has ****blocked me and tried to put me down so that he could steal my girl..the bastard.....

After a while and once I get to know the girl better I suppose then I might could chance a little while around my friends

I never introduce dates/f-buddies to friends. Only if you're in a LTR do you risk it.

When I get bored with a girl or if I feel I have enough to keep me occupied, then I'll let them have a piece.

I agree with the others, introducing to friends is more of a LTR deal.

Especially if the relationship isnt quite defined with a girl yet, having other people around will only serve as a ****block which isnt needed. Besides no one can really predict when kind of stupid **** or put downs your friend will land on you when you do introduce your chick to em.

My friends are cool and all, and they seem interested in meeting my girl. But what they dont realize is their presence alone can be a ****block. Im almost certain they'll end up saying **** or quickly revealing stuff about me to her that i have yet to tell her.

When it comes down to men, women can easily become competitive amongst their friends. And guy friends are fully capable of that also around a woman
