This page is overwhelmed by questions revolving around often singular situations such as:

  • How do I show a girl that I like her?
  • Should I try following up with this girl?
  • What can I text so that she will meet me?

Often these questions are written by people who are terrified of rejection and want to be 100% sure of success before ever making a clear move.

Your primary problem is that these situations are occurring to begin with, not necessarily how you respond once you are in them.
