"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.

Long story short, i made a bet with this one girl and i lost so i have to take her dinner, this was on tuesday that we made the bet and on wednesday that i actually lost. All that we've really said about it was me just askin where she wants to go(bad?), and her just sayin she doesn't care. So idk what to do, what do you guys think?
 

"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.

ok. don't bring it up again since you clearly don't want to. i think the fact that you use the phrase 'i don't know' so often that you have an abbreviated acronym for it kind of sums up your generation. i also think the reason you posted this is so that someone else can make you feel better about being too much of an 'idk' to be able to take a girl for drinks

Calm down people, you're pretty much in the same fvcking generation. Only 10 yrs apart.

As for your situation, just take her to YOUR favorite restaurant.
