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.
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.
Sounds good. Just out of curiosity, are you against drinking?ohiobohio518 said:I'm 23... she's I dunno, 24 or 25. I know her through work (she doesnt work at the same place). Recently single.
First date:
Invited her out to ice cream the way you're supposed to, just a few hours before going: "I'm gonna get ice cream after I eat dinner. Wanna join?" Asking as if I was gonna go there anyway, and doing it pretty spontaneously.
Why would kissing a woman make you a player?I bring her back to her apt, but she isn't in a rush to leave. She doesn't even reach for the door and we kind of keep talking. I'm not sure what she's expecting here, but I wasn't gonna kiss her (I've heard from sources she hates 'players')
You're 23, so I don't see why you can't arrange some type of date after 10pm.I get out of work at 10pm Wed-Fri so I can't do any of those nights. Calling tomorrow and asking for Tuesday would seem a little desperate yeah?
So should I call tomorrow and ask for a Sat night dinner and then go check out the ride?
No, I actually reconnected with her (and found out shes recently single) while on a night out with coworkers.Iceberg said:Sounds good. Just out of curiosity, are you against drinking?
I dunno. Maybe that was dumb. But I have one more chance before I blow it forever.Why would kissing a woman make you a player?
True, but since she has work at 9 in the morning it gets pretty restrictive as to how long you can stay out, or what you can do. Also, I forgot to mention, I live in a pretty small city where there really isn't much to do after 10 pm except go drink at a trashy bar. I don't actually live in Cleveland like my profile says.You're 23, so I don't see why you can't arrange some type of date after 10pm.
You're right. The amusement park ride thing is just one thing that would take like 5 minutes. Maybe 15 minutes with the wait. We could just get that out of the way and then go get dinner, where drinking can be involved. Since it's Sat night, we can then go out, or watch a movie or something at my place.But yeah, try to get her out on Saturday. Again, I personally would rather do something a little more adult-themed, as dinner and amusement parks sounds too "Chick Flick" for me. But hey if it's working for you, then roll with it.
I know, but it also didn't seem right, you know? I'm not trying to be a p*ssy about this and make excuses, really. It would've been awkward if I tried kissing her there. (This, on top of the player thing)justanothernormalguy said:you should of kissed her, or at least raised her sexual interest level through kino. You are very much heading for friend zone.
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
Exactly! All women say that, but very few act on it. Plus, it doesn't mean they don't want sex or physical contact.Iceberg said:Also, of course you'll hear that women hate "players," but if you look at their sexual history, these are the guys who get into their pants. So obviously, they don't hate them too much, right?
