"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.

The guys here, I'm a little upset here.

My father hasn't gotten laid and I know he can but I can't convince him to read. I can't convince him to get into it.

When I said it, he kept shaking his head, saying, "no, noone is this ambitious, no such nonsense, it's impossible."

And it's kind of sad when I'm getting it and I can't help him.

:(

You can if you whip him! He would be thirsty for sure.

Can't whip him. Heh I get your idea though.

I'm going to leave him alone. Many times he would embarrass and humiliate me (through argument or other ways) but you know, I try and help but forget it.

I gotta move on. Thanks guys.
 

"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.
