"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 to dress on night's out?

I'm pretty good with dressing well but this is something that I wonder..

If you're in good shape, ie. got a body worth showing off, is it better to wear a well-fitted t-shirt that shows off your arms/chest/shoulders or a smart long-sleeved shirt?

I know it depends on the venue but I don't think a good t-shirt looks out of place in a bar/club. Plus I think there's a fine line between wearing something that makes you look good and something that makes you look like a guido idiot.

Thoughts/suggestions?

EDIT: ignore my grammatical error in the title.. I meant "nights" not "night's" ;)
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

I'm personally not a big fan of either. I feel like whenever I go out I'm either seeing dudes in Affliction T-shirts or Long Sleeve buttondowns from their local mall.

I love V-necks.
I'll wear a button down as long as it's out of the ordinary.. not your typical white and blue striped shirt
Long Sleeve fitted shirts (even long sleeve v-necks) fit well if you have a nice frame
T-Shirts are for the gym and lounging

It doesn't matter what you wear.

That being said, I usually wear a gray or black MK2 shirt from Express with a highlighter green t-shirt underneath.

Or just the highlighter green t-shirt. Looks great with blacklights
 

"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.
