"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.

Ok, Im 24...I saw my friend the other day....and hung out with him and his younger sister. He told me that his sister fancies me...and suprisingly he seemed really cool about it, and gave the impression he wouldnt be bothered about anything between me and her.

THe problem is, she is 18!! I will mention that I live in UK, where legal consent is 16..

I just dont know what to do...I have been messaging her, and she I said she can come round mine and watch a movie tonight...she said wanted to but had prior plans...anyways she countered for tomorrow night...which in my household can be quite crowded...

so I was thinking about maybe trying to go out someplace with her? or try and go round hers instead? - - - I told her I might be busy, but I will let her know tomorrow...

WHat should I do??

I will also mention that suprisingly we had stuff in common, and she seemed quite mature..not an annoying squeaky young chick... hmmmm

Thanks in advance guys
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

24 (or early-mid20s)/18 guy/girl is pretty common in the UK IME. The relative maturities tend to be reasonably balanced.

God luck! :)

I just got this girl's number in one of my classes and she's 18. It sucks because I don't know where to take her. All the best places to take a girl are 21+. :confused:

Thanks for the responses guys...this makes me feel better about the whole situation.

and to JLay87 I can relate to your problem a little bit...it seems more difficult knowing where to take them where there is a significant age gap...

In my case, I might take her out someplace..maybe cinema (boring I know, but safe bet).....Hmm, I will decide for definite tomorrow!
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

also depends on how close you and your friend are, this could potentially end your friendship if anything fvcks up, are you prepared to take that risk?
I know its delicate and fragile...but I know what kind of person I am, and I'm not into using and abusing chicks...so I have no concerns.

Also the fact that my friend is so relaxed about it speaks volumes of the kind of person I am...I hope lol :woo:

18 and 24? Not an issue.

I was dating (well, nibbling with) 19 year olds when I was 33. Good times.

Ok...come on the ONLY place to go is either an over 21 club or to the movies? Wow, I usually don't like either of these ideas. I would much rather go grab coffee, have her come with you "shopping" so you can get a new shirt of course or whatever. But you go into all these diff shops make fun of her for the things that she likes..I mean come on be diff, everyone has taken her to the movies. A nice drive to see scenery and talking is great too, think outside the box guys. I thought this was pretty common to do these sorts of "dates". And by doing the coffee your meeting in one place and your going to another, so thats like an instadate where she feels more comfortable with you.
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

I passed 40 a few years back and I dated an 18 year old last year for a bit, as well as a 21, 23, 26 and 31. No big thing really; the friends sister thing is a lot bigger deal. There are lots of women out there to date, why risk a friendship?

She's 18, she's not gonna marry him and even if she did, the'd probably end up divorced if they marry that young. It's a great way to screw up a friendship but heck, nothing lasts forever. Poon isn't that hard to get though, I think I'd pass, or friendzone her.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
