"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.

when she says she doesnt 'date' does that just mean she doesn't date 'you'?

my date tonight was not a date even tho i told her it was a date, i let her off the hook by saying 'oh so you're 1 of those girls who is friends with a guy first to see if u like him then later u go on a date..'

she goes yeah.. did i let her off the hook too easily?

i felt it was a sign of disrespect that she didnt consider it was a date.

in text message before about 2 weeks ago she asked me 'who said anything about a date?'

i was smart and said 'well we'll see u how u do first then we'll talk about a date.'

in due course she recontacted me the week later so obviously my tactic was working or im just kidding myself.
 

"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.

Don't get too concerned about the dating issue. As long as you're going out with her, doing your thing and working on attraction, who cares if it's a date or not. Let it go and show her these trivial matters don't bother you. Remember to kino, then escalate. That's the more important part.

Yes exactly. Forget trying to put labels on your outings and just go out and do your thing. Labeling things as a "date" puts unnecessary pressure on both people.

Back in the old days (this must have been like 9th or 10th grade) I once made the mistake of trying to clarify with the girl whether the movie we went out to counted as a date or not. I don't even know how I could ever have been that awful. Needless to say that was pretty much the end of my interaction with this girl.
