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.
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.
Sure. Sounds good! I normally ask 2-3 days before hand for a first date. For dates after that, sometimes I'll just call a girl up during the day and set something up for that night.SexinEar said:I'm never really shure on this. I'm going to ask this girl out for Friday and today is Wednesday, so im thinking today wouldnt be a bad day to call her. What do you think?
I second that!Lucas718 said:Personally I wouldn't set up a first date on a weekend if it can be avoided. You don't really know if you're ever going to see this girl again. I'd try to have the first few dates with her during the week and make sure she's worthy of getting time with you on the weekend. The way I see it, the weekends are MY time.
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.

Why not CoFFEE???SexinEar said:Hahaa honestly i'm not feeling the coffee idea, im 16. I just called her and no one picked up. Yea i'm not gonna call again til tommorrow don't worry, if she calls me back i'm proubly not gonna pick up and wait til tomm anyway.
I knew someone would say not to ask her out for a friday, but whatever its the only day that i can really go. I dont agree on what someone said about letting her decide what day, that sounds really afc.
