"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.

Thoughtful? ie makin/buying really small items to highlight a previous moment with a girl that you've been dating/gf?

Personal example: fooling around pretty hard one night and all her bobby pins happened to disappear. 2 days later noticed a handful pack cheap at the store, bought and gave to her with a wink.
 

"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 worrying about being "wussy". If you felt it was the right thing to do then it was the right thing to do.

Just let go of any expectation that you will get anything in return and don't make such a big deal out of such a simple thing.

i probably wouldn't do it, but I don't know what the right answer is. Probably depends on how long you've been going out. (the longer --> the more thoughtful you can be)
 

"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.

There's nothing wrong with buying a girl something, in fact there's nothing wrong with complimenting her too. The common misconception this board has is that we have to be jackasses in order to attract women and we can't show a hint of niceness. There's two kinds of nice; seeking one's approval in order to be accepted, and being thoughtful and considerate. What most nice guys fall into is the former, but there's absolutely nothing wrong with the latter. And there is a huge difference between the two; women will decipher which nice you're doing through body language, voice tone, etc. Just don't milk your niceness.

Very good advice, The Alpha male is considerate and thoughtful along with all the other qualities.
