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.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

Hey man, you may think that your situation sucks but the end of the High School is also the beginning of the rest of your life! You'll get a fresh start in college and you will have a much better chance and definitely more friends. Don't skip going to college!JPlaya said:I'm about to graduate high school so that ain't helping. I have like 2 girls numbers:nono: so far. I just got out of my shy shell, so I'm new. I guess I'm like a 7/10, nothing special.
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
JPlaya, you definitely need to read this article if you haven't already. It's called Kill That Desperation! written by Pook.JPlaya said:Well since I was anti social throughout high school, I ended up not knowing any girls. I thought this one girl liked me, but idk I think I got friendzoned lol. I guess my problem is initiating flirting and talking to girls. I'm not scared, I just don't know what to say.
