"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

Well, my old '93 Lexus ES300 finally gave up the ghost - actually, it blew a gasket while driving down the interstate, filling my entire car with smoke. Not a great moment, especially considering it was nighttime and I'd just come home from a bar.

So, I took the plunge and bought my first new car... a 2007 Scion TC in the dark gray color. A few optional accessories like the iPod connection and color-changing CD player...

The difference between the two is night and day. Then again, the reality of going from no car payments to $300 a month (I put $5k down) isn't that pleasing... still, it's better than a lease!
 

"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.
