"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

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.

okay she always tells me about her games and stuff. it's not pro or anything. just something she manages for a bunch of people to play against each other. her grand final is tomorrow night. should i go there and surprise her even though she didn't invite me? i don't even know where the place is but i could ask her friend i guess and that friend is going there too who lives near me and could drive by pick me up and drop me back home later.

but i have this gut feeling it's probably too early to go do something like this. she didn't invite me and usually invites me out to places. only been together two months and i don't want her to feel awkward and distract her when shes playing an important game. just send a text saying "good luck tonight".

plus i'm going to see her the next day (friday night) anyway, spending the night with her out in town then sleeping at her house, then going to the museum the next day (sat) and she's probably going to sleep at mine that same night.

what do you guys think? bad idea right?
 

"She's Out of Your League"

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.

Listen to your gut. It probably is too early. If you were going out for a long time, it might be ok. For now though, I don't think there is anything to be gained by showing up uninvited.

I know you mean well, and it is a nice gesture in theory. But this early on, she could read it as neediness or even a bit of stalking.

You are doing well with her given the sleepovers. Just continue as usual and pass on this idea.

i dunno. her friends are the one she plays with on her team. it's not a pro game or anything, they just play for fun but it's like the finals match. she knows im not that into sports too. she invites me everywhere else. probably also because i live a little far and don't drive atm. i just wanted to be nice and surprise her but i won't. i'm seeing her all weekend anyway.
 

"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.
