"All of your analyzing has you doing the opposite of being assertive. You are so concerned about doing the right thing, or more importantly, worried about doing the wrong thing, that you appear wishy washy to W. Stop over analyzing every encounter or conversation with W. No walking around on eggshells in fear.
^^^ this is what I needed to hear. Why would W want someone like that!
"Be yourself and do what you feel is best. You want to get her perfume? Just get it. Feel like calling her? Just do it. It’s not going to make or break your relationship either way."
When she could have someone like this ^^^^
Whats the worst that could happen! she puts the phone down or throws the perfume away! in which case I learn and move on.
