"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.

So guys, I want some input on how to close this scenario. I think I did ok but I love critique...

I was at the grocery store today and made immediate eye contact with one of the employees as she was walking into the store at the same time as me. She smiled BIG. Later as I was shopping walked by me and smiled again as she was showing a customer where to find something (I couldnt chat her up there). As I was checking out she was at a register, I obviously took that line so I could chat her up a little. As she was checking me out her manager was talking with her (i was getting blocked left and right!) I was going to give up then she asked me if I wanted to donate $ for a local charity. I said yes and she gave me a piece of paper to put my name on so they hang it up... I put my #. We shall see the results.

I have also used this same instance where the charity was an animal hospital and you are supposed to sign in honor of your pet. I always put my roommate's name and then find some clever way to tell the checkout clerk what i'm doing. they always love it, its a good way to show some good humor.

Input?

I hope you didn't write your number so it's displayed somewhere, that would be odd.

ROFL same thing i was thinking ....
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

I always give to the Jerry Lewis MD charity and usually when asked if I'd like to give during the year at places like CVS or Ingles the cashier will hand me a pen and a piece of paper and it's only to put your name not a phone number.

If she see's your phone number where your supposed to put your name and it doesn't click to her to why you didn't put your name she will have to put it up on the store windows because of the dollar you gave thats what they ask for here for that charity. Don't be surprised if you get phone calls but not from her... not really sure how this will turn out but don't get your hopes up or beat yourself up we all have been there... that is, finding creative ways to beat around the bush when we should be man enough to just convo her into giving her number.

Also Espi gave some good advice.
