"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.

Went to a party last night. Kissed a girl, not very long (****block friend dragged her away). Both drunk. I was sucking on her lip. I got her name, but not her number. I don't like kissing random people. Hell, I'm not even sure if she remembers it. You know? I feel like such a little man***** now. We go to the same university, but it's a big one and I don't think I'll see her again. Kind of sucks.

Anyone know what they would do in this situation? How about some words of comfort?
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Go home, take a hot bath, and get yourself a few pints of Ben & Jerry's.

Then, put on either Titanic or The Notebook or The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.

Or do it again, and block the ****blockers better in the future so you can get some tang.

Words of comfort? Stop being a dbag. Stop acting like a chick.

I think you should take the "man" out of the topic title
