"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.

literally... i asked a random girl to play air hockey with me, and i had fun gaming her. then when i had to go, i told her it was nice seeing you and gave her hug. i saw her later on the same day and she seemed pretty open and positive to my presence.


now the reason i ask this is b/c it's been about 2yrs since coming into US, and i only know the superficial side of this American culture. does this work as being needy or does this work as exhibiting confidence and masculine sexuality?
 

"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.

I always thought it was a custom to hug a girl when you guys part ways. Nothing needy about hugging a girl at all.

Depends, if it's someone I've met before there's always a hello and goodbye hug.

Someone I just met, if the vibes are good then I hug away.

Hugs are perfectly acceptable. The more you give them the better people will feel around you. Just keep it within reason, or else you might come off as gay.
