"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 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.

And continue it as part of your lifestyle into your life.
If I were to recommend a system I would recommend Jeet Kune Do.
JKD is at its heart, a both philosophical method of viewing Life and a Self Perfection and Self Preservation themed system.
It is rooted in Taoism. Therefore, it is practical and applicable, yet stimulates and challenges one intellectually as well.
Look through some of this stuff to be better informed:

Feel free to ask me any martial art related questions, Evo.

Fvck yeah! mma is the fastest growing sport in the country for a reason. It just kicks ass. Every form of fighting has a weakness - in boxing it is being taken down, they teach you to follow through on punches in a way that exposes you to a takedown or worse, giving up your back.
I have been training mma just an hour and a half two nights a week, (soon to be 4 nights) and I am getting in shape rapidly. You work muscles that lifting weights does not, and the cardio is intense. I know a guy who lost 100 pounds in the past year, down to 320 from 420.
Do it - you'll love mma.

I used to swim for county (sorry if I seem like I'm bragging), and well basically, make sure your strokes are sound, and then concentrate on doing lengths.
