"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.

So did I come on too strong? We've been talking around a month and just pseudo-flirting back and forth and I'm trying to be more bold and direct in my life and this is the first time I've applied it. So what, did I come on too strong (she's 17, so there's the whole 'not wanting to be a slut thing', so is she putting up a facade to see my reaction and to avoid labeling herself a slut) or is it just this particular girl not feeling me?
 

"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.

Never appologize, just move on. I dont think shes really feeling you tho buddy. See the flirting back and fourth for a month is bad, she probably just sees you as a friend by this point.
