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.
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.

I can see you've ignored all the good advice you've gotten here. That leads me to believe you were just looking for validation.
I've wasted enough of my own time on this thread, but I'll just leave you with this thought:
If you think you're going to get your answer by asking him/her, you are wrong. If you think about how fvcked up mentally someone must be to get a sex-change operation, you can bet that you're not going to get a truthful answer to your question. He probably actually considers himself a woman so even on a polygraph he wouldn't be lying. And, even if you go through with this and there is a vagina, it doesn't mean there wasn't once a penis down there.
If he slaps you at least you don't have to feel bad about kicking his A$$Originally posted by JGault
Thanks for all the advice and concern.
I'm going in to find out. Let u know how it turns out.
No guts no glory. Hope I don't get slapped.
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

....I want to approach her about it just she knows that it doesnt change how I think and feel about her....
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.
