"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

So how do you guys work this?

What time is best? 5pm roundabouts?

Do you ask what she wants and buy it for her, or stand in line together and buy separately?

Do you set a time constraint? What would you say?

What's goodbye etiquette?

Cheers.
 

"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.

Based on my experience (usually these are first dates for me):

6-7pm on weekdays, 1-3pm on weekends.

I'm usually late, so either she has already bought for herself or we buy together and I pay, though a couple times she had a giftcard so she paid. Never have asked what she wanted and bought it for her, that seems like a good idea though.

Usually don't set a time constraint unless one of us has somewhere to be. In my experience, we usually talk for 2-3 hours unless its clear that there's no connection at all then I make up some reason to leave or pretend to get a phone call.

For goodbye, I usually walk her to her car, hug goodbye, say I had fun, and leave it at then. If things went well, then I'll text her the next day or the day after and plan something.

Weekdays 7-8pm

I'd buy both drinks ahead of time and just wait

Do you set a time constraint? What would you say?

1-2 hours depending on the person's talkativeness

What's goodbye etiquette?

Weekdays (Monday -Thursday) 1600 - 2100. Weekends (Wide open)

Wait until she gets there. If she's late, do not reward bad behavior. She buys both of yours. Maximizes your self-control. She shows up on time you give her a good thirty second gaze (insert sh!t eating grin) then tell her you're going to surprise her.

Strawberry Frap is ALWAYS a winner.

Use every single opportunity to keep her mental Gerbil running laps.

Do you set a time constraint? What would you say?
Always. Two hours is the max. No more or you become clingy. Be vague with what your plans are afterwards.

What's goodbye etiquette?
Alright.

This is where you can use Karma's patented greeting:

As she approaches you, turn your cheek towards her and gently tap it with your forefinger. Add a wry smile, and she'll always lean in for the kiss.

This move has NEVER failed to set her into the proper mental frame that she's in the presence of a man. A man completely unafraid of his sexuality.

This move alone has gotten me laid under 30 minutes after meeting.

Coffee Date Steps:

1) Pay money
2) Get coffee

A coffee date isn't meant to be complicated, OP. It's meant to be simple. That's why we make them. So that it's easy to forget about the setting and just shoot the sh*t.

Set a time, and a day, and let the rest happen the way it should. If you're working on being an awesome human being, it will likely turn out fine.
 

"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.
