"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 have not drank wine since learning here about the mice and caterpillars
Disgusting!
 

"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.

So you are saying open a bottle of red and let the thing sit a few days like that just without the cork

in what way does it improve after a few days of being left open?

Yeah i always dr it the second a bottle is opened

cool tip, thanks
Yeah or just drink the wine over like three days and see how it tastes over those days. If you drink it straight after opening its gonna have more of an alcohol taste but some of that will evaporate over time and also the tastes will mellow a bit. You can also drink it diluted with sparking water and a sweetener like organic honey to make a cool drink and impress people or with water and cocao to make a hot chocolate its pretty good.

Another way to age wine in the old days was gentle heating which you can also try but it can deteriotate the wine quickly, this is where just leaving it after opening is closer to traditional aging where it is kept closed. But even then it should be drank after good aerating which is what they do when they swirl the wine in the big glass.
