Plus, you won't feel nervous to just come out and tell them what you want.ĥ. Who knows the actual truth - and, frankly, who cares? When you're in the right relationship, the other person will be so busy pursuing you, you wont have time to listen to that inner voice, because they'll already be texting you/calling/and asking you out on a regular basis. Then I'd hear that little voice in my head say, Would he really have asked you out if you didn't nudge this along? I hate that voice, BTW. Even if this technique - which I don't recommend - actually worked, I'd be left with the feeling that I basically forced the date to happen. So, I'd text the guy and not-so-subtly hint at what I was up to to try and lead the conversation into a date (this is before I realized that not just saying what I meant can read desperate - my brother gave me the heads up, thanks, Tony). In past relationships, I'd wonder when I was going to see a dude next after our first or second date, but then when I decided they were taking too long to ask me out again, my patience (WHO HAS IT?!) would run out. This typically leaves the other person questioning everything they do/say/think, which leads to more group SOS texts to your friends, or a quick call to your therapist. It's just that when you're not in the right relationship, a partner can make you *feel* crazy by leading you to believe one thing and then flipping on a switch and acting totally differently. You know that moment when you feel insecure in a new relationship, and you think to yourself, Am I a crazy person? The answer is usually no.
