"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.

Hello mature forum.

I've been a lurker and poster here for a few years now. I find myself in an odd situation. I won't go into detail on this post. Basically, i've date this girl for about 2 years. broke up twice. When we broke up recently my gut told me it was the right thing. fast forward 2 months. She calls me...wants me back blah blah blah. now i've read the bible, and have no one-itis. My question is this. she calls after 2 months wanting me back. I tell her that at this point all i want is friends (and she needs a real friend..but that is beside the point) and i don't see us together as a couple. we end up talking for 2 hours and it's probably the best convo we had in a long time. My issue is my gut is silent at this point. before i was sure that it was right to not be with her. but my gut is literally silent. before i get flamed, has anyone else ever found themselves in this situation? Thanks mature dj's.

"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.

That means you are ready to accept what happens with her, no matter what it is. Most likely you don't want back with her ever.

One of my exes (not the one I still want back of course), still calls me.

She wants me back, we dated for 3 years. I do still love her but I don't think it will work out.

It's actually nice though to still be friends with someone you have alot of history with.
