It’s time to grow up…

Forget all the “Is she going to reply” thoughts, or the infamous “I can never get a girl” anxiety. It is time to grow up, period. No excuses.

All you need to focus on is yourself. Sure you went on that date with her, sure you had a good time, but it’s up to her to reply to you or not. It’s up to her to put in the same amount of effort you are putting in. Your only job is to be you, that way if she does decide to ignore you and completely shut you out, you will be just fine.

Sounds harder than it really is, but trust me once you go through enough dates and relationships you’ll develop an immunity to all the bullshit. That is where the growing up comes in, the more mature you can be about dating and what not the less it will have a toll on your mind and heart. Straight up. This idea is where it can also get really confusing, because no matter how mature and respectful you are when it comes to other people’s feelings it does not necessarily mean that things will always go your way. There is no avoiding that self-doubt or insecurity. It is natural to face those feelings, but the ‘growing up’ should hopefully make you accustomed to feeling that type of way.

Do not blame yourself, do not blame your physical self, and certainly do not blame her. Things were just not meant to be so you have to move on and face the fact that there are billions of women in the world. Millions of other heartbreaks and romances, millions of other rejections and first dates. You got this bro, just remember: it’s time to grow up…

Be yourself, be upfront, and enjoy yourself.
