"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.

When do you wait for her to come to you?

I see people saying you have to be persistent, but how do you know when to back off and let her come to you?

I met this girl at a party and she was really into me, she got my number as she was leaving, that was the only time I saw her in person(3 weekends ago). We've been texting and I tried to hang out with her 2 times. 1. she was at a party and asked me to come but I couldn't get there until late and she had already left(2 weekends ago), 2. I invited her to a party(last weekend) and she was going to come, I hung up to get her directions and when I called her back she said her mom called her and flipped out or something and told her she has to go home but she said would text me the next day. Next day rolls around and nothing, haven't talked to her since...(Idk wtf this **** is with her mom, she is 18 though....)

She never ignores my texts(she is in school while i'm off work so I can't call) and she seems like she wants to hang out and said we will soon. At first she was texting me first all the time, now she never texts me first but always responds when I text(maybe once or twice a week), should I keep pushing forward as long as she reacts positive, or back off and wait for her to come to me? My thought is if I don't make it happen it might not, which would suck if she just wanted me to lead(which I need work on).

Also, with my work schedule the weekends are the only time I can really do anything social, which is really frustrating.

Thanks
 

"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.

stop texting; next time call her, tell her where to meet, when and where. yeah and I think she used her mom as an excuse btw. but who knows.

Stop texting & only initiate contact via phone calls. Texting is a woman's territory & its an easy way to get stuck in the FZ.

Try using your weekends to meet other chicks. You're focusing too much of your time on this one girl & she knows that & is feeding off the attention making it easier for some other unknown guy to pork her.

She lost the interest. It is time to move on. She replied to your text doesn't mean she's still interested. Some women respond to all her guy friends' texts. If you are still curious, call her, and set up a date. This time not to a party but just a small lunch. If she bails out again, look for an IgetIt! post in what to do.
