"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.

As I mentioned in the last thread I began, there was a girl that I like. Well, after giving her the silent treatment yesterday and most of Saturday (maybe it works Bluelemond), I finally did "make a move." First, I intended to not ask her out directly (if at all here). I said something to the nature of that it would be great if we could hang out because we only see each other on AIM and at school.

She said yes. :cheer:

Now, I don't really think this means were exactly "going out" quite yet, but it's definately a good start. :cool:

While talking about what to do (she said she'd go anywhere), she warned me that during her volleyball season, the schedule is very strenuous and it clogs up her day almost every day lately. At first, I figured she was exaggerating, so I checked her schedule...she wasn't kidding. :rolleyes: She has practice till 4:30-5:00 everyday and she has a lot of games coming up (including a big tournament Saturday).

There are a couple times this week and next week (not many) where I can see her having some free time (and work around the V-Ball), so I'll see how that works out.

"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.

Haha. You think 4:30 is bad. Think about some of us who don't get home until seven pm every day.

Tell us how it goes.

Dude, seriously, this girl isn't talking to you like you're boyfriend quality. She's talking to you like a bestfriend who just wants to hang out with her. And then you're making it worse by attempting to work around her schedule! remember, your a man, a man is supposed to be very busy aswell, which means he has to have his own life and goals. Right now, your goals are all in the wrong place: "around her schedule". When she said she was busy, you should have said, "Well, that's too bad, my schedule is loaded too. But, give me your number and I'll pencil you in for an outing sometime". The key is to have a life, but have her apart of your life. Making moves all takes precise timing. You still have to amplify her attraction for you before you make any further moves. Right now, it seems like she's a potential girl, so work on that, but have a life while you work on that.

Good Luck:cool:

I get what you're saying...

...luckily I didn't talk to her yet. :cool: I'll make myself appear quite busy so she can't just have her way. And, there is no way in he** I'm a best friend to her. We get along fine, but no best friend factor in there lol.

There's a small snafu (nothing serious) that I need to fix, so there will probably no real progress for a day or two. In short, we get along real well, then she blocked my AIM and almost seemed to avoid me in school - it's like she changed overnight. So I just gotta see what this could mean, then I should be fine (her friend said it's likely not that big). This same friend, who plays with the girl I like on the V-Ball team, said the team likes when I come for support, so this friend may try to get to the bottom of this quickly if they want me to go to some of their games from now on. I won't ask her (the girl) about it, but I'll get my answer somehow.:D
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
