"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.

My moral dilemma is, "Should I drink decaf or regular coffee?" Should I subject ppl to the me on caffeine or the morose me on decaf? Sadly, I have but 1 true friend, so it wouldn't matter if I were caffeinated or not and answering every question in class to the disgust of others. S***, you mean to tell me I'm not post #100, someone beat me?!!!!
 

"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.

I don't know, but it really sucks when you think you're being served real coffee and you get decaff instead. Avoid this moral trap at all costs!!:cuss:
