"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 don't really don't wanta supplicate and ask a dude friend to by my best man. I don't have that many dude friends besides the guys I work with, but I do have One good friend whose wedding I attended last year. Do you have to have a best man, and a bunch of groomsmen? I don't want a big wedding. I want to just be hitched and be done with it. I know that women want the most expensive wedding ever, but I just wanta save her dad the money. I'd be a magnificent son-in-law for that. We'd play golf together too. Win-win.
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

this is all up to you and the bride to determine.
usually you have the same amount of people stand up for you, as she will have stand up for her.
most people ask brothers, cousins, and best friends.
others go it alone and dont ask anyone.

this is all up to you!

Yes I have two brothers, but I haven't spoken with them in years. A lot of my co-workers would "stand up" for me as well as my customers, but I don't want to mess up our strictly business relationships. I'm very private. I got asked by my cousin to be a groomsman 4 years ago. All I did was stand there and walk arm in arm with one of the bridesmaids. I've come a long way from that day until now, but I just want to get this stuff over with so that people will be out of my business ASAP.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Maybe DrD77. We don't really know each other that well but she's 9 years younger and I can't pass her up. I'd like a few children, and she's the perfect age for that. I'm concerned about a larger house note. Other than that, I can support us all. House notes suck, what with all the taxes, association fees, and stupid insurance. I see it as robbery buying a house.
