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.
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.

It's gotta last more than a minute to count.No one has said sex yet.
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
Bear crawls are pretty good, but I've never done them uphill or with weight. I'll have to try that. Weighted vest could be good.I have to strengthen my knees as genetically my entire family have bad knees, to do that I've been doing up hill bear crawls with a 30-40 lb backpack, I thought I blew my knees out the next day at one point but just needed lots of time to recover.
The sled is freaking amazing, you can do multiple muscles with it like abs, biceps, back, legs, you just have to get creative with pushing and pulling the sled, for example I'll put one of the posts of the sled lined up with my mid section and just pull it left and right over and over, it's an absolutely brutal ab workout
The hill I use is probably 50 degree angle, vest is probably a better idea, I use bags of sand in my bag but not everyone has thoseBear crawls are pretty good, but I've never done them uphill or with weight. I'll have to try that. Weighted vest could be good.
Sled sounds pretty good too. I bet they're great for conditioning/endurance.
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.
Yeah I have a sled also, but got it due to it being one of the best things you can do to protect your knees as you age, especially walking backwards with it.I have to strengthen my knees as genetically my entire family have bad knees, to do that I've been doing up hill bear crawls with a 30-40 lb backpack, I thought I blew my knees out the next day at one point but just needed lots of time to recover.
