"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.

it seems there is an infestation of idiots with useless advice... bumping up stupid threads that just died... and other things that are ruining that section.

is there ANYTHING that could be done? i don't know if they're trolls, but their names are not unique at all... and it seems like the same person is using the same style of names. examples such as: mybackhurts, slightoverbite, bigbacneproblem, lvl20darkmage, myhandhurts. some are real, some are names i made up just now.

do SOMETHING!

they're either trolls, are plain idiots like GrandWizardAlamar
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Michele, trust me, you are preaching to the choir. There is only so much us (mods) can do. We can close redundant, useless, pointless, and just plain idiot threads, but we can't force people to learn.

We are trying our best though.

ElStud - Warning for harassment.

I didn't harass him. I'm telling it like it is, he always comes up in my threads posting useless stuff that has nothing to do with the topic and he calls a bunch of others trolls. I just think it's sort of hypocritical.

Considering the people he was calling ARE trolls...

I just cleaned up the HS forum a bit.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
