"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 i'm in highschool and i've made plans with a chick to go to a local park/nature reserve to hang out. After sending her talking about tomorrow plans she sent me this

"is it ok if i wear jeans? I don't wanna shave my legs."

Normally I don't care if girls don't shave there legs or not it doesn't bother me one bit, plus this girl usually wears jeans most of the time anyways. So my question to you is why would she ask me this? and how should i respond?
 

"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.

I don't think it means much of anything in THIS context, other than she's concerned about what you think about what she wears. Maybe she thinks she's supposed to wear shorts for the outing.

Or possibly...

The leg shaving thing might be BS. She might have her period and feel more comfortable in jeans rather than shorts in case of um, leakage.

Either way, who cares? Just say, "Yeah no prob."

When you get a bit older, "I /am not going to/forgot to shave my legs" means "I have no plans to get horizontal tonight*."

But just for a date in the park? It doesn't really matter either way.

*Another thought for the Female Translator.

Who knows thanks for the advice she hardly ever wears shorts. Actually i don't think I've only ever seen her in shorts once and that's when she knew would be out somewhere were she'd get dirty.
