"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.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

wow theres some pretty interesting statistics about age groups of offenders. heres the chart (Its labled "Homicide offending rates followed a similar pattern"):

There defintely was a rash of adolecent violence in the 1990s. What the hell was going on between 1985 and 1995?! Recently, though, it looks like crime for both 14-17 year olds and 18-24 year olds is about the same now as it was in 1975.
I wish it had statistics for earlier... like going back to 1950 or before, but there seems to be a difference between public opinion and reality.

The fact that this was written about in the Bible proves my point on its own. I could give you many more examples to show how you are wrong, but it should be obvious at this point. So, even if I were religious it still wouldn't discredit me in the least.

It is truly amazing how quickly ones life can be turned upside down. I wonder what he will do with himself now.
On the flip side, I honestly have to wonder if perhaps he brought this upon himself... it was his daughter who did this, after all. Are we not responsible for our children?
