"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.

So...Been in no contact a week is all...its tough but managing ok. Tried to talk to her last week. She came over started out ok..looked like she was ok with it. Then it turned and I basically told her to get out. She left and messaged me later saying "Its to bad you didn't think me coming over was a good thing"..been a week now and I am staying no contact....any advice on what I do next?? She came over and I feel that was a positive step..but then it went 2 steps back...
 

"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.

Maybe try this instead of no contact.

I often think no contact doesn't actually heal us properly and can be very damaging to both people. Remember, this is a person you did immensely care about and clearly still do.

But as @Mauser96 said, we need more backstory.
