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.
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.
Exactly. It's like filling out a job application. And, it indicates that I look up to her as the prize.mrRuckus said:I'd change the subject and lead the conversation to where i want it to go rather than letting myself fall into that trap where she's looking for something to disqualify you.

Just ignore it. It didn't happen. That'll get her more curious and interested. Type a new email instead of quoting the old one.luv 2 fly said:ok well after this email I was going to ask for her phone number. Should I pretend to forget what she asked & just ask for her #?
& if she does mention this again. What's the best way to avoid answering the question?
Not at all. She's a woman, she's curious, and most importantly, she's curious about you. Women very rarely randomly ask men questions like that, especiallly ones about YOUR LIKES/DISLIKES. If you answer those types of questions too easily, she has nothing to daydream about what you're like.is this also a sh!t test???
Oh, very true, I do that as well on occasion.mrRuckus said:I've never had a problem writing long, witty emails. It's completely amped up the attraction a NUMBER of times. It might suck if you're just not that funny in writing, but my entire MO is decent length FUNNY emails... at least when I do online dating.
It's never been a problem just basically ignoring any questions i don't feel like answering. Serious questions and answers in emails should be infrequent.
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
