"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.

Yup, I do the match.com thingie. It's got me one date, in like 4 months!! However i get plenty of winks every week, new ones. So i give it a day and e-mail the chick that winked. Keep the mail simple and try to set up an online chat with them. Usually, most of the e-mails dont even get a response. URGGGHHH


ANy suggestions on this would be great.
 

"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.

Give up on it.

The problem with online dating is that people look at a photo and profile and build up a fantasy impression in their mind, which they can quite literally fall in love with. Unfortunately, nobody can match upto this in real life and it nearly always ends in disappointment sooner or later.

Ditto...

BTDT and have the "shirt" to show I was their...

Not to mention the time wasted in pursuing like that...

Keep in mind (and this is not directed towards you) that if a chick is on a dating site there is a reason for it...

Whether that be she a "psycho"...."desperate" or whatever. It is not worth your time or effort to pursue that...

Some form of social network is still the best way. But it depends on your age. At an older age, online dating is less flaky (at least for me) because the girls are older and more serious. If you're still in college, then online match is just unneccessary.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

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.

Two of my good buddies (ages 35 and 40) got on match.com and hook up (read: fcuk or 3rd base) with a different girl about every week.

My suggestion to you is to take some pics of yourself using camera angles that bring out your best.

Good luck!
