[April Masini, your AskApril]

You seem to have a tendency to make a mountain out of a molehill and to obsess on details. My advice is to lighten up and focus on the positive in general.

Specifically, you went wrong when you texted her to ask her out on a date for Valentine’s Day. She took a better offer, apparently. My advice is to call her up on the telephone and ask her out for a proper date with dinner and a movie or something along that line. Show up with flowers or a single rose and really give her no reason to think anything other than, Gosh, this guy likes me as a girlfriend and he’s treating me so specially I can’t wait to see him again, and I hope he continues to like me!

It’s that easy. Let go of trying to figure out where you went wrong and put the focus on where you can now go right! 😉 I liked everything [b]Lauren 919[/b] wrote you, and if you follow the advice we both gave you, I think you’ll wind up with a great date with this woman! 😀

I hope that helps — let me know how things go, and follow me @AskAprilcom on Twitter and on Facebook at this link: [url][/url]. 😀
