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.

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.
There aren't any "topics" that create attraction.Kal said:then tell me what sorts of topics create attraction.
The fact that she didn't want to leave doesn't matter,you should have cut it off anyway. That way she wouldn't be able to wait to see you the next time.Kal said:yeah it was kind of long. However I set up a shorter date with this girl a week or 2 before (we could have only hung out for 2 hours or so) and she rejected the idea because it wasn't long enough and re-scheduled for a day she could have hung out longer. And besides that, what we did just took a lot of time. Went skating for 2 hours, walked around for a bit, grabbed dinner, and watched part of a hockey game. I don't disagree with you that it was too long, but she didn't want to leave.
Well this is good,but doesn't negate anything previously said.Kal said:Anyways I might have been too hasty to say this girl has lost all interest. I texted her yesterday to cancel for today and she said she wanted to do
something this week. I suggested dinner and movie at my place which there was no objections to. We just need to plan when and where to meet since she's never been to my place (and she doesn't know my part if the city).
I had a feeling this would happen when reading through this thread. A lot of guys on this forum are way too fast to NEXT a girl. Although "I will call you" is often bad and is her way of brushing you off, it doesn't always mean that it is. What to do in these circumstances is to give time to see if she does call, and if she doesn't then to quick text like you did here.Kal said:Anyways I might have been too hasty to say this girl has lost all interest.

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.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, Tesl, slow down there big boy. The focus on any date should be the fun that you are having and if there is any interest in the woman she will mirror your level of enjoyment. Very rarely do I ever spend time with a woman where I have fun and she does not. If that happens forget the chick.Forty0ztoFreedom said:He should focus on HER having fun? Is this not supplication? I think this whole community is one giant paradox.
Heh, was suprised to see this. I don't think there is a paradox here, I'm not saying "make sure she has fun, at your own expense without having fun yourself". If you don't enjoy the date then she obviously wont either - I'm not denying this at all.lifeislearning said:Forty your doubt is just. Paradox averted. Lets be a little more careful with the advice we share *cough* Tesl *cough* :trouble:
