"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'm so proud of myself.

I know this Women. I'm pretty certain she is an AW. Most times when I bump into her she is always saying "lets get together soon for coffee".

One time I bumped into her twice in the same week in the same part of town. Both times she said " lets do coffee next week" She had this urgency in her voice like she really wanted to meet up.

A week later I call her up and plan a night for coffee. "I'm free Thursday night at 7, I hope that works for you" That is the message I left on her voice mail.

I get a call from her the next day and she says "Sorry Catnip, I can't make it Thursday, lets do coffee later on in the week" She hangs up. No counter date when she is free, Just this endless, "lets do coffee SOMETIME", statement.

Well I bump into her again a few days ago, It's been about 2 weeks since I last saw her. We blabbered for a few minutes then I told her I had to go.

"Well, see you around" I said.

"Lets do coffee soon" Said her.

I was deadpan, "Well I got to go, see you later" I said.

She starts with her schedule "Well I work Saturday and Sunday and I have skating on Tuesday and Thursdays so thats my schedule"

I repeat, "Well I got to go, see you later" I give her a nice wave and a smile and depart.

YES, I think to myself.

I'm pretty certain she picked up on my intention.

There was no anger on my part, just no desire to enter into her frame.
 

"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 love the way she started to talk about her schedule after you said you had to go. It was like she was thinking in her mind that she was doing you a favour by giving you a date and it must have been a shock to her system when you turned it down. :up:

Thanks guys. I was not trying to be mean to her. I was just sick and tired of her trying to get me to chase her.

My main thought was,"Sorry lady, I don't jump through your hoops, Now have a nice day".
