And don't forget the tequilla!
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.

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.
I've been dating a latina loca for about a year. I don't know about the eye contact comment....butOriginally posted by cinephile
Thanks for the responses everybody.
No, not all girls are the same.
There are certain thinks which are unique to Latins that we don't see in American women.
1. It is hard to get eye conatct with them. They will deliberately try to look away from you.
2. They don't think anything about being 20 to 40 minutes late.
3. Latin women don't dress down. Yeah, they may be casual, but they always try to look their best. Latin American is actually the world's largest consumer of makeup.
4. They really seem to require a lot more social proof before anything.
Now I am talking about girls from Latin America, not the J Lo wanabee's who were born here and can't speak spanish.
So any other advice/comments?
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.
