A friend of mine, who I always took as somewhat a ladies-man, is now constantly coming to me, fragile as glass, because of one girl. It saddens and angers me, to see this fellow of mine, who always walked around confidently, who never had issues with women, who is one strong son-of-a-*****, coming to me saying he can't talk with this girl because he fears crying because of what he feels.
It is not that I am experienced (hence posting this here), but he is coming to me, asking for advice. Since he has been suffering for weeks/months, I told him to end his suffering. I told him to go tell her how he feels, expect nothing in return, just to take this thing out of his chest, and then move on wiser.
He told me he'd bite the bullet once he's with her again. After all is said and done, this guy is going to be shattered. He cares for her. He doesn't speak English, so no use pointing this site. Though, I feel that this is an important moment in his life, and that he could use some wisdom, as to start walking in a braver path.
Taking it that I'm not very experienced, and don't want to mislead this guy out, what can I say to him? What useful guidance can I provide him?
