"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.

Pathetic problem i know......

My problem is that I was really good friends with a girl, almost best friends, and I kind of got the impression that she liked me too. We got really close and I know that she did like me in that way, and I asked her out, she said yes, but then two days later said no, and that she wasnt ready for a boyfriend.

Now whenever I see her, she totally ignores me when I say hi, yet I still want to be her friend, and she just doesnt want to know.

Have I totally screwed this up (i think i have), and how can i sort this out. i sent her a text saying cant we just forget about the past and move on, she didnt text back.

What should i do, should i just totally not say hello to her anymore, or what else shall I do, it's making me quite miserable because i've lost one of my best friends.........
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

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.

Move on. You were safely within the confines of her friend zone, but then you tried to rattle the cage and break free, which scared her off.

Stay away from her for the next few days --- no hanging out, no text messaging. She's not interested in you as a boyfriend/lover.

Yeh, that's tough.

I was in exactly the same situation as you are in right now. I became very close friends with a girl, of course I got to really like her. I thought she liked me too, but when I tried to kiss her, she dodged.

I had no other choice but to NEXT her. I lost a good friend, but I am the type of guy who takes risks. I took a risk, knew there was a chance she wouldn't like it. So, I lost a good friend, but if it went right, I would have had an awesome girlfriend.
