"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 you know it was love?

"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.

Sammy's technically the better singer (and musician), but Dave fits the band better.
Too bad they got caught up in so much drama.

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

People tend to forget there's more than just musicianship involved. Dave was a very underrated lyricist and all-time great performer, and vocally more expressive (more personality to his voice). In terms of the dramatic, literary, and performance art aspects of the band Dave has sizeable advantages over Sammy.

I liked Sammy more when he was in Montrose. Dave had a sense of humor, and as his personality was well suited for those MTV days.
I remember when I first saw Van Halen in concert, I had no idea who they were. They were the backup band for Black Sabbath. I had two main reactions: What the heck is that guitar player doing? And wow that lead singer can really jump high lol. I heard staying fit was a big part of Dave's road routine.

Talking about the video:
the 2 boys seem in love.
He could have a problem of fear of abandonment perhaps due to the fact that he had an overly attached mother, and he is looking for a girl in whom he can put the love that he gave to his mother.
She, on the other hand, seems to ignore her nature, for what reasons? Inexperience, Young age, or something else? This girl is living in a time where she is an exception, but as soon as she becomes a woman, will she change everything?
