"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.

Just a quick one.

I currently have this lump buster on the go for about a month. I feel like I've lowered my standards to this, even though she's a great laugh and good company etc. I just don't find her physically attractive (shes not a whale or anything like that, just a bit extra flesh around the edges).

The only reason I'm keeping this going is cos it's the only plate I have right now and am not that kinda guy to have a constant flow of new dates/prospects.

Anyway, I'm a little worried that she sees me as b/f material with her recent request. This is not what I want with her, I was just after mere casual FBs and someone to chill with every now and again.

I'm feeling a little guilty that I could be using her. Do you think I should just drop it or keep it going and avoid becoming too attached? If I let this go I'l have nothing and will be back to square one. At least with her I can keep myself conditioned so to speak and play about until the next one comes along.

1st Date:
Casual Drinks in the evening, went very well.

2nd Date:
Basic lunch (she works in my area but lives miles away), followed unintentionally by a night out to a club and then a heavy makeout in my car.

3rd Date:
Invited her over to watch a DVD. She agrees, we had sex (she was a little challenging at first saying things like "is this all you invited me over for?" but I got her horny in the end and she went crazy).

4th Date:
She called me up, a couple of days later asking if I want to take a walk this Sunday around a lake in the peak district, but isn't available in the evening. I haven't rejected, but said I will let her know. Honestly I don't know what I'm doing yet.

That sort of thing I would consider to do with a g.f, at the same time I feel I could loose the frame if shes now asking to do what she wants (which is a first).

How can I keep this going without leeding her on? Just be upfront if she ever gives the "what are we?" talk?
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

I think the problem is that you lowered your standards just to get laid. That never feels good, your basically betraying yourself. Tsk tsk. Cut her loose and never do it again ( lower your standards that is).

Basically, yeah.

Like you said, you're doing too much date stuff with her. If the arrangement you seek is a FB, then no more dinners. Stick to drinks and your house. No walks in the park. No long conversations.
