"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 know this topic has been discussed a lot, but needed some advice guys.

I recently started seeing this girl about 2 weeks back. I didnt get her anything for Valentine's, but she got me a gift, plus she got a gift for my niece who had a birthday the next day, even though she wasnt invited to the birthday and I had just mentioned it in passing to her. Now, that had me floored.

Her birthday is coming up, what do I get her and how much should I spend?

I think I posted in the wrong forum. Cant move it though!

"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.

You're kidding right? What if we all decided to have you spend a grand on this girl? Two weeks?

Good friend of mine of over a year mentioned once, possibly in jest, that she wanted some Gushers. It's a 'fruit snack' type of gummy treat, for those who don't know. So for her birthday I bought her a box of gushers. Cost me two dollars, and she loved it and was prancing around like a lunatic all night. I don't remember what her boyfriend bought her, but I did find out he bought her a digi camera for Christmas (what's the price tag on that one?), and she never uses the thing.

I'm not trying to put ideas in your head, but it has only been two weeks, and the chances of her mentioning something jokingly that she wanted is probably low. If I were you I probably would stick to a card or something self made. If you had to buy something, make it cheap but some sort of thoughtful.
