"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 need some advice on a few issues if you guys could spare me some of your time.

I just ended a 4 yr relationship with my gf from highschool. It was really really rough at first, and then this girl I have had a lot of feelings for and was my first love, contacted me out of the blue and we ended up hanging out at a party. She expressed that she wasn't happy with her current situation (bf) and we talked for a good 3 hours about just life and she ended up kissing me. It was the best night of my life im not gonna lie I've never been able to stand conversation with women period let alone for that long. She's the coolest girl and I know she has feelings for me. I can tell she's pulled back from me a little bit and im sure shes confused about what shes gonna do. Isn't it best to let her be and if she wants to pursue me she will? It is a ****ty situation because it teased the fvck out of me and I forgot about the other ***** I dumped. I really like this girl and I wanna do right by her she deserves it.
 

"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.

it's fun to watch a monkey play with a loaded gun. unfortunately the ending is often gruesome to watch.

no offense dude, but your post is FILLED with AFC attitudes.

- your first 'love'
- she has a boyfriend but we made out (while in the same breath saying) this girl is amazing

you're young, your hormones and inexperience have the best of you, as with this girl... just go with it. bang her brains out, you'll remember it when your 40 and think back to it as the best time of your life - even if it ultimate ends in a disasterous melodrama 6 months down the road of her keying your car and tossing all your clothes in the street.

Welcome to the forum Desert Rose.

Now I am going to be harsh with you because on this forum we believe in reality and we don't cuddle other guys.

First of you are an AFC. So you need to read the DJ Bible on this forum to cleanse yourself of your current mindset and understand why you are thinking this way.

As for the girl with the BF.... you don't really know her. She had her own motives and just because she kissed you, it does not mean she will leave her BF. Sometimes all you are going to get is just a kiss, sometimes you will get nothing and other times you can go all the way. The point is that whether you get something or nothing, that shouldn't rattle you and make her to be the centre of your universe and your focus. You are in the centre of your universe and you come first.

You best be careful not to get oneitis for this girl because your headed to the direction pretty fast. Always protect the heart.

Just one thing, Mr Rose. Don't worry about doing right by this girl because she deserves it. A woman who has washed your clothes and cooked for you for 30 years might deserve something, but she doesn't deserve anything other than a first rate boning.

Yes it is better to let her pursue you. You can make yourself available to be pursued. Obviously if you got on as well as you claim she wouldn't have another boyfriend right now, so put it in perspective.

Very good points I knew this would help a lot. These things dont happen over night obviously and I am not a patient person at all. What do you mean you can make yourself available to be pursued?
 

"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.

Forget her and move on

Some keywords from your post : High-school, 4 years LTR, she had a boyfriend, amazing girl


You are very young to be engaged in such a long and exclusive relationship. Get over it while you have the chance. How long do you think you can convince yourself to spend the rest of your life with your first serious relationship ? It WOULD have ended ANYWAY.

So USE this chance to get over her. You are a pure AFC who luckily found this forum. Stay tuned, read everything you can, and move on.
