"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 am participating in a selection process for the position of advertising copywriter in an advertising agency, which it has been becoming a little boring.

My first interview was with HR. Everything went well. I went to the area manager.

Everything went well again, but they decided to opt for an employee of the company itself due to the budget of the vacancy - she agreed to take over for less than I asked.

The HR manager informed me of the situation and told me that this employee's position, due to the relocation, was now free and asked me if I would like to speak with this another manager.

Yes, I replied. Why not?

I did the interview. Everything went well again, but now HR informs me that there is another stage, with one of the company's partners.

Would you guys persist or would you quit? My stamina for this kind of process is very low. I currently work with other clients (freelancing) and have my Master's degree to complete so that I wouldn't miss it so much.
 

"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.

But what about the partner's partners? They'll want to be in the loop as well.

These ad agencies think they run plantations in a lot of cases. Too many kids want these jobs.

There's a lot of competition for marketing and advertising jobs. It's not that great of a field. Additionally, marketing/advertising is very layoff prone.
