Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
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.

PRL deserves some f*cking congratulations here.
He definately gave me some good advice with my previous ex-gf that helped me escape my oneitis!
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.

Your post was not very praiseworthy of my strenuous efforts in the last year and a half – let’s be a little more focus on me and not the pink emoticons!!Originally posted by Jake-inator

As a side note, i now get the impression that your main goal on this site (and in life ?) was to be the top poster. Now, that makes me sad because i thought your goal was to help out all of us with your insightful comments
Second side note: I did a search and noticed that from your very first post you said "Say no to hors". I am amazed to see that in your 4000+ posts you kept repeating the same exact sentence without getting bored. Props to you for that!
Here's another cheerleader for your amusement only: :cheer:
Your post is not a post of adulation or praise, in fact it is comment in error – if you read my comments I said Moderators and Woman don’t count!!! And if you add up the words written by me and the insightful insight (that makes sense, right) that I’ve given, I surpass all of the Don Juans combined!!Originally posted by check_mate_kid_uk

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.
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.
