"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 on a school trip for a soccer game at another university and met this chick there. We partied together and a buddy of mine tried to hit on her but she was feeling me.
Anways , 3 years later I find her on Facebook and we started talking and catching up. ( like once every week or so )

Anyways I decided to ask her out and she seems willing ( which is good )
I asked her out about 3 weeks ago for a sushi date , which I later canceled due to work priorities. I gave her another message and she declined the Monday but made a counter for Friday. ( Another good sign)
Problem is , I was suppose to be off work but my foreman has an emergency so I have to fill in for him on Friday and most likely through the weekend if we are to meet the deadline.

Now my dilemma is , I finish work early on the Thursday & a local paint balling club also has a ladies night which women get in for free. Plus the sushi place is right round the corner .
I was about to message her and propose that we meet up on thursday night instead or else I have to bail on her for a other week.
Which I think she will start to think I'm playing around.
Or should I give her a call tomorrow instead ?
 

"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.

Paintball is a great date. I would try the reschedule Thursday with that. Sushi is also a great date.

Update

Me: Goodmorning S_____ , completely mixed up my schedule for the week. Got some work that needs to be completed on a deadline basis so I won't be able to make the Friday & i have a tight schedule for the rest of the weekend. However, if you are free we can go paintballing & grab some drinks afterwards.

Her : No worries lmaoo , I have a busy weekend as well. I have a day off on Thursday so we can do it. I'm so up for paintball !!!

Me: Sounds good , I will give you a call on thursday to arrange pick up time.

Her : Okay cool :))
