"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.

Dilbert "gets it".

"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.

Good find, squirrels !

As an engineer myself, I've always identified with Dilbert, and really "get" the passive/aggressive/sarcastic humor of Scott Adams (Dilbert's creator).

BTW - I'm discovering that humor can be a very effective way to "spread the message" of MRA/DJ to friends and co-workers that would otherwise outright reject the notion that women (for the most part) are NOT the "porcelain princesses" that most of us were taught to believe..
