"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've got a major problem. I just failed my first university year and might have to get straight into work if I can't appeal it. I was studying computer science with games development. I KNOW I'm good at what I do, the problem was entirely with my organisation and motivation.

I honestly hadn't given much thought to the possibility of being in any other field so my question is, how can I stay in the IT field without a degree? I'm considering getting a full-time job and studying for computer science again, part time. But then would I have to work an unrelated job while I'm studying again or is there a possibility of that being in the IT field?

Maybe full-time education just isnt for me. I've already repeated a year in college and studied an extra year in a sh!tty university which got me into my current (much better) university. Maybe this is really an opportunity in disguise...
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

I have 2 friends who work at ESPN doing IT work. They have no degree. They make good money and love working at ESPN. They got the job by having experience in the field and knowing someone at ESPN who helped them out. You dont need a degree but it does not hurt either.

But you have to realize that his success wasn't focused on technology, it was primarily his ability to build a viable corporation with a business model which was unique at the time. He just also happened to be a developer.
