"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.

I'm doing something called "counseling" cuz it's free at my university, and it's pretty much like going in therapy, where you talk about your problems and try to become a stronger person.

These are individual sessions, just me and my counselor, and i find her quite attractive. She's young, between 22 and 25 i'd say, and we have a good vibe. Of course, it's her job to give me a good vibe, so i don't have any high expectations, but i was wondering about trying to see if she would be open for a date when we are done with my therapy.

But is this a smart idea? Assume she accepted. Is it smart to date a girl that knows everything about you? All your thoughts and how you usually are around women? I think it goes against the "being mysterious" strategy, but i'd like to hear what you guys think.

Anyone ever dated their therapist? haha.. (Anyone ever been in therapy?:whistle: )
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Well, in a LTR, the girl would eventually learn about you anyway. With your therapist I suppose the process is already sped up. I don't know what you discussed with her, but who knows, maybe she finds you attractive for it. Regardless, she likely has a policy about dating "clients".

As a side note, I'd hate to date a therapist, as I wouldn't want to be mentally picked apart, disected, examined and tested by her.

All I can say is, if you don't need her for the therapy, it's not like you have anything to lose for trying.
