"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.

Ok, I know I've been here a lot and reading for a long time. I've made some progress but this case drives me nuts.

Short story: I went on a vacation for one week and I met a pretty girl(We'll call her "Sarah") through a friend of mine. It was obvious Sarah liked me, but then the vacation was over and I didn't see her for 2 weeks. When my friends told we should see some vacation photos I saw her again. Unfortunately I was tired because I had worked 12 hours straight and didn't talk a lot to her.
I don't have her number so I sent her a few emails and added her on IM. Yesterday I saw her online, but she was "away". Thus I knew she read my email but she didn't reply it.

What does it mean? We had a vibe during holidays and now she's cold again? I need some opinions to avoid getting "clingy". Guess contacting by sending emails/IM doesn't work?
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Don't worry yet. I have 5-10 emails I haven't answered to from people who's good friends of mind - and I almost never write back when I get a text message - Simply because I don't have the time.


Think about it: She could have logged in to her email account just to see if she had any new messages and then just quickly read yours. If she's interested she'll probably write you back -

But, don't push it. Give it some time man. And, find a couple of other girls while you're waiting.
