"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.

Quick question based purely on curiousity...

Lately, I've noticed some good looking girls call me "dude" in response to questions or statements, etc.
I'm not sure if it should be taken as a term of endearment or an IOD.

Does anyone have any past experiences that could indicitate where it lands on the IOI spectrum? I'd rather be called "dude" then "bro", I'm just not sure if it should be taken as flirtacious or the oposite.

For what it's worth, my sister and her fiance refer to eachother as "dude" all the time, so I'm thinking it could be a good thing.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Lol.. like I said its just a quick, silly question..

I saw a guy here say in his experience he found being called by his last name to be a huge IOI, so I'm just thiking along those lines
