"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.

Worth fighting for?

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

TOO LONG! Many members will not read this article because it is too long.

You said your problem in the first line, one-itis at it's finest.

Unless I'm missing something she hardly seems worth the crap you've had to deal with in regards to her.

While sympathy is fine I guess, her prior hangups and "trust issues" are not your ****ing problem. You should have been angry at HER for having her friends snoop around on you and for her not believing you were joking. Instead you're playing her fvcked up game where she can go ballistic over non issues, break up with you, then come and get you back whenever she starts feeling lonely again.

If the question is "Is this girl worth getting back with again?" the answer is almost without a doubt no. I can garuntee you just from reading that there is going to be more drama in the future if you do.

That said and knowing from experience, if you really do have one-itis you probably won't listen to our advice on giving this girl the boot.

I at least implore you to let down some groundrules this time and make her know straight up you aren't going to deal with any more of that drama bull****. Or better yet not get back together with her of course.
