"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.

I'm looking for some good day2 ideas for weeknights. IDEALLY, some of them would be alcohol-free (e.g. not rely on going to a bar) since I am borderline alcoholic and am trying to cut wayyy back.

I've read some stuff about hanging out at the mall, trying stuff on, joking around, then maybe grabbing a bite to eat, and I'm wondering if in your experience this works with girls of age mid to late 20s. I mean the mall seems so juvenile?

Keys to a day2 seem to be,

- you have a PLAN but can make it look effortless
- PLENTY of venue changes (like, not stay in a venue more than 60-90 min)
 

"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.

Invite her to your place, watch a DVD...maybe make some food if you're any good.

Out? Play pool, go bowling, even mini-golf isn't TOO childish. If you're gonna go to a restaurant, try to go someplace other than your typical boring sit-down place. For example, there's this Japanese steakhouse near where I live where they prepare the food in front of you, complete with ninja-spatula-twirling, etc...

Picnics, maybe...the zoo?

Or go on a trip to the beach or something. Just think a little...what's fun for YOU? What do you see yourself doing with this girl if you end up spending any real time together? (Besides THAT :D )

Good suggestions. (Highlighted portion is called tepanyaki). I would throw in getting some ice cream and a stroll around a park (it brings back memories of youth). Also, Sushi is a great idea.
