"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 curious if the guys here who proclaim to spin multiple plates with women do so with their male friends as well.

I have a number of male acquaintances but few I would call "close" . This pandemic hasn't helped as those I had were guys who participated in weekly leagues and events with.
 

"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.

One or two close male friends, one or two more close female friends, (some of which I’ve dated, some not), and a large group of male acquaintances. I feel pretty good about myself friends-wise and I can have just as much fun with them as with a girl on a date.

Unsure which option to choose.
Most people I know are beyond the acquaintance level (I'm old and lived in the same town for a while) but I find most of them usually uninteresting. I'll still attend their social events, but as people, I wouldn't miss most if they moved away.
I have five friends that I genuinely care about.
