"She's Out of Your League"

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.

Alright, in the days of my AFChood, I used to take the 'tests' on OkCupid.

http://www.okcupid.com/tests

Now, on the relationship tests, I used to always do 'well'. Was told i was good material for a girl, yadda yadda. So of course i wondered why I was 'failing'.

Now I haven't been on this site for a few months, but I got bored yesterday so I took a few tests. Like this one:

http://www.okcupid.com/tests/the-ideal-boyfriend-test-2

I got the 'Playa' title. Proud of myself, I read the description. I proceeded to get a rant about me being the 'worst kind of guy', treating girls as 'sex objects'. Well shucks, I was a little insulted by that. So I retook it, but answered in how I would have answered 6 months. Guess what? I got 'Perfect Boyfriend' :rolleyes:

I think the mantra I now hold dear is that of Buddha:
'Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.'

This site has taught me a lot of 'common' sense :D
 

"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.

Haha, I also got Player too. I didn't even answer that playerish. Oh well! Guess I'll have to live with myself being the "worst of all". :D

Exactly - just because I want to keep a few plates going doesn't make me 'bad' (I see it as quite good - if I'm making people happy with my presence, then why does it matter if I'm doing that to more than one person?)
