"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.

From what I've learned on here from the past year is that you never want to be stuck in the friendzone, and you often get stuck in the friendzone when you are always there for her and when she runs to you to talk about her problems.


My situation is as follows, a girl that I just started seeing has a dying grandma, who shes close to, she wasnt in class today so i shot her a text asking where she was, and she said "things arent looking too good" (for her grandma).

anyways I responded with "sorry to hear that, Ill send you the review for the exam, and let me know if theres anything else I can do"

She sends one back saying "Thanks a ton, a hangout or a walk would be great sometime soon"

I just dont want to be stuck in the friendzone, and the hangout might be hard to escalate kino in a time when shes depressed and sex is the last thing on her mind. Any suggestions?
 

"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.

Agreed. This is right.

If she waan't in class with you today,then more than likely,you already had a pretty good idea of why. So my question is:Why did you send her a text? That was a mistake in my opinion. If she's out of class because of her grandmother,then you send her a text,then all you did was insert thoughts of yourself into her mind while she's feeling bad about her grandmother. So she feels bad while thoughts of YOU are in her mind. Can you see where I'm going with this?

You mean well. I know you mean well....but you seem to be almost trying to get into the friendzone. I hate to say this,but it might almost be too late. It might be,because if you start to back off now,you'll just make things worse. She'll be hurt because you seem to be backing away from her,and she won't know why,and on top of all that,she still has the situation with her grandma to deal with. Uh.....sorry dude. I don't know anyway out of the little hole you've gotten yourself into.

Thanks man, Ill see if I can get myself out of this, should be interesting none the less, Id rather be blown out by escalating too fast, than LJBF for not escalating at all. Ill see if my charm will work on our date.
