"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.

good advice, but only if you're sure that you're not already smothering her

True. So what it is OP are you being clingy? If you are being clingy that's a big no no.
 

"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.

Real talk.

If a woman you are with ever disrespects you, she should be gone until she EARNS you back.

Ofcourse most of us are not like Francisco and have no other women around so we try and find ways to keep the same one even though that is AFC behavior.
I will admit it's not a big deal when you have fallbacks. I will admit it took me a moment (just a moment) to get comfortable with the fact that she will probably have to start over at square one once she gets her head straight, she had been doing really well in proving her worth.

But Like you said, if she disrespects you she needs to earn your respect again. This one did, apologized the very next day and said she was going to get counseling. That may be the only reason that she still has a chance with me, even if it's slight. Not to many woman would admit to being flawed and seek out professional help in hopes to build some type of relationship after she heals herself.

Nice. Apologized the next day.

I'm still waiting for apologies from quite a few women. I'm sure they will come any day now ;)

Ha, no it's not pms, and guys please forget personality disorders, she's a relatively normal girl. I think I may have been clingy, as well as not very interesting for a while, so I'm gonna give her some time. Should I wait for her to call first or not?

By the way, three weeks after the start of the hiatus I get another apology email asking what she can do to get back into my good graces. She also listed the things that she had done to settle herself (including getting professional help). It's things like this that allows me to keep her on the roster even though she's lost a couple of spots on the rotation. Not all women with issues are completely worth writing off.
