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.
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
i have no reason to do that, why would i want to mess it up with a girl im really good friends with when i have a bunch of girls at the moment that like me and one ive kinda hooked up with aalready. its not necessary, its not something i need to risk, i just want to get over her and still be friends with her.jmm854 said:It's amazing what a whiff of undergarments will do to a man, let alone a sixteen year old isn't it?
Sh*t who knows go for it her interest level in you had to be there if she wanted to jump in the sack. Unless you were a total idiot in bed which is impossible at age 16 anyway, because you all suck at age 16, she probably still likes you. I say go up to her, tell her "Remember when I said I thought we should just leave things at that and stay friends?" Her "Yeah" You "Well I don't", drop your arms to her waist and kiss her. She'll be your girlfriend tomorrow if you have the balls.
By the way, STFU you don't love her reading that made me wanna hurl.
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.
