"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.

How did I handle this?

If you read my last post, I've been seeing H for 9 months. We're not together. I told her I was taking her out two days before I was actually taking her out. The day comes along and I text her when I wake up to confirm. Eventually it works out and I see her.

Fast foward to present time. The same situation occurs, and once again she isn't 100% so I'm thinking about confirming with her that morning, but I don't. I want to see what happens. I said I would be there 6 if she confirmed with me. She never confirmed so I took someone else out. She texts me later that night and asks why I never came, and I reply "you never got back to me so I figured you were blowing me off ... took someone else." No reply.

How did I do?

I thought I did well.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

She decided not to reply. I'm not going to initiate contact first because she screwed up by not giving me an answer when I proposed the idea of going out. I mean I told her exactly what was going to happen and she was still "unsure." I didn't confirm because, like I said, I wanted to see what would happen. I think she just likes to put blame on me for whatever.

Oh, and as to what happen ... She didn't reply. That's all.
