"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Growing old is the second greatest surprise of my life.
The first is our incessant need for deep attachment and intimate love. Everyone in the world wants to be with someone else tonight, together in the dark, with the sweet warmth of a hip, a foot, or a bare shoulder within reach.
Who among us has lost that desire? You never do.

Hi Jhonny,
Your curiosity and hunger for life seems insatiable,what an interesting Old Man you will be....Yes a 93 year old Roman would have vivid memories of living under Mussolini,the German occupation,the terrible bombing and the final liberation by the Allies...He would have lived through the hungry post war years then seen the resurgence of Italy,whose sense of style dominated the Sixties...Make the most of him Jhonny,he aint around for much longer!

Sounds like a ChatGPT response
Hopefully the mods crack down on such bullsh1t, because it pollutes this site with garbage and drives away the actual humans who are the revenue source that pay for us all to be here through ad revenue. AI posters are the new spammers. Remember how much we all hate spam?
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
