"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 see a lot of guys who make websites for a living on here, I have a question

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
It all depends. You have to pay for hosting and a domain name. Usually, the domain name comes with the hosting plan, but you can buy it separate so they aren't tied together. If you're going to pay for someone else to actually do the coding it also depends on what exactly you're looking for. A static website (ex: landing page) is pretty easy to do, and so is pretty cheap. The harder it is to code, the more it'll cost you. You've got a range of options though. You can pay flat-fee, or you can pay hourly. Its a buyer's market.Fatal Jay said:
What type of website were you looking into creating?

Don't put the cart before the horse. Start a free blog on wordpress or blogger, it's got everything you need to get started.Fatal Jay said:
THEN start blogging and build your audience. Once you've got a decent audience, you can then spend some cash to build your own site.
This is how all the "gurus" that blog on game got started. Blog for free, build some traffic, then once you KNOW you've got readers, then spend the cash to have a site built.
"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
But yeah, like Taiyuu_Otoko said, you might wanna look at just a domain name (don't use the free subdomains; ie: .blogspot.com) and one of the free options for now. Get some traffic going, and then expand.

My blog/website is probably similar to the one that you're looking to design.Fatal Jay said:
You can use any of the blogger engines out there (wordpress, blogger), pay for a domain name, and have the domain linked to your blog account.
The thing about my site is I needed webspace for storage. I fork out about $100 ever two years for my domain name, unlimited storage, and unlimited bandwidth. If you just want a domain, it's going to be much cheaper.
Agreed 100%, and this is exactly how I did mine. There's a lot of popular blogs out there that don't pay 5hit. It all boils down to necessity. For me, it became absolutely necessary that I have webspace to store all my 5hit because all the free services were too unreliable and it was pissing off my readers. Get what you need out of necessity instead of dreaming big and wasting money.taiyuu_otoko said:
The biggest challenge you'll have is building up an audience. Find websites or blogs that are similar to yours. Send them an email telling them that you like their site and are adding a link to it on your site. Send them a link to your site and ask them to check it out. If they like your stuff, they'll add you as well.
Once you build up a decent audience, it will keep itself going as long as you keep updating. Longevity will also play a big role in attracting people; the more stuff you post, the more likely people will show up from google and direct links to your stuff.
"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
