I was just being nice. I'm not that great.
Knights out early, queen out late, castle when you can.
And be aggressive with your center pawns! People are still getting me with that sh1t
You think I would learn smh
"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.

"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.
wow, you sound like a cunning chess player.
And you learned this just recently?
Thanks for the succinct tips.

I learned as a kid (maybe 9 or 10) from the older boy next door, and by the end of the school summer break I was beating him - LOL.
Have played on and off ever since - I was never a particularly good player, but neither are the majority who also play - so I managed to be best in my school yeargroup age 16 and went unbeaten 3 yrs while at Uni - Had a workmate for a few years who played well, those games were enjoyable.
I taught my daughter to play from her being about 10-ish, and she did beat me a few times during her teens though the last time I played an actual person (as opposed to computer) was about 15 yrs ago.
I used to watch some Youtube channels on the subject, though a lot were way beyond my level, I could at least get the gist of what they were saying...
most of the time haha!
And as for being a dork! - Well I've always been a geek/nerd/dork/whatever...
Be proud of your geekdom - wear it like a badge of honour - LOL
"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

I've been utilizing the "flip the board" option for the past week or so (chess.com app), and it's really made a difference in my play.
One of the downsides to being an introvert is that you can be oblivious to the minor details that could make your life easier.
