"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.

"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.

I can't decipher what you wrote... it sounds like she's going with a platonic friend... but I really can't read that gibberish.

You have a full keyboard-use it properly. If she's had the date lined up for 2 months and is going out of"obligation"-you know keeping your word. Then I think she's a keeper. If she lined it up since you've been dating, I have questions.

my bad dude i was venting so lemme re explain this. i knew her 2 years ago. we got really close and stuff like that. was goin to ask her out then she told me she sees me as a brother. stopped talkin for a while and we randomly started up again friday night. i asked her out sunday night and when i did she had signed off aim. texted her and she asked if i mean to dinner or something and i said yea y not. she said sure to goin to dinner wit me. i wanted to see wat she was doin next weekend it is the 1 time i have off... she said she was goin to a cook out thing with her friend matt as his date. im kinda pissed cuz she just said she will go out with me yesterday. idk im afraid she doesnt really wanna go out with me. im thinkin of sayin **** it and not talk to her in a nother 2 or so years if ever. the fact that she is goin on multiple dates so close tells me she isnt looking for anything serious and with her thats wat i would want a serious relationship. i dont want the 1 night stand. but like i siad, i just dont know wat to do im new to dating wich is pathetic.( im 18) i can try and play it kool and make it another night but then its not like im the only 1 she is seeing it then becomes a competition which i dont think i could compete lol. should i just say **** it?

Hmm... in that case it sounds like she just wanted to catch up with you and not actually make it into a date. I'd consider looking elsewhere... You'll get way less resistance from a girl that understands it's a date off the bat.

Also, girls often go on a lot of dates with a lot of different dudes because they're sifting through the crap to get to the diamond.

In other words, just because she's hanging out with another dude doesn't disqualify you from a serious relationship with her. You just have to be the most awesome ****ing dude she knows.
