"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.

Ok so a girl that I'm friends with basically just pronounced her love for me. SH!T. :eek: I don't know how to deal with that. I like her as a friend but nothing else. I don't know what to say back to let her know that it's not reciprocal but that I still think she's a cool friend.

I usually don't come to this board for stuff like this anymore but I can't deal with this kind of stuff.

What should I say back?
 

"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.

This girl just proclaimed her love to you... anything you say will seem to her like a rejection if you don't say I love you back to her...

So the best thing you can do is simply say... I like you as a friend but nothing else... which is exactly how you feel...

If she's not horribly ugly why not tell her you want a booty call and nothing more.

If she looks like an urangutang then you may just tell her that you're in a "complicated" relationship right now.

The girlfriend manuever. If she's a good friend, it probably won't work, as she knows you're life.

Hell, if chicks can lie about having a boyfriend, we can lie and say we have a girlfriend.

That way, you can still be her buddy, just one who is already taken.

If she knows you're single, and thinks you have a problem with women, then KIND honesty is your best bet.

You have a friend that's a girl, and you're "just friends"? Are you sure you're a guy?
 

"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.
