"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.

Interesting situation. My 'friend' that I'm after blew me off last week. Avoided me. So I called her up and got the machine. In a friendly voice I told her that if I didn't hear from her the next day I would assume that we weren't friends anymore and I was fine with it.

So the next day she calls me at work and tells me she wasn't dodging me and that we're good. I told her great but I'm busy and to call me that night. I made sure she said she'd call. She said she would but it would be late.

So it's past late now and she hasn't called. Either I mean so little to her that she forgot to call me or she is yanking my chain. I tend to think the latter, I don't think I've been assertive enough with her. I want to be assertive but I don't want to overdo it in this case.

What do you think and how should I approach my next call? Thanks.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

You were done when you made an ultimatum on her answering machine. Move on - its over with this one.

There is no next call to make.

Your next approach should be shooting a gun in the background as you are calling her and screaming "YOU BETTER HANG OUT WITH ME OR ELSE."

or you can just forget it her and move on to better prospects.
