"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.

Guys,

We're getting too many political and other off-topic threads in here. These belong in "Anything Else".

I'm not going to move any existing ones at this point but from now on please post any threads that don't DIRECTLY deal with our dealings with women in the "Anything Else" section.

Please take a moment to read Colossus' list of Forum Rules that are stickied at the top. Thanks.
 

"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.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

So the half dozen sensitive manginas we have here finally whined loud enough to the boss mods then. Guess it was only a matter of time.

One could argue the current political climate directly determines ones dealings with women but I won't split hairs, rules are rules. Just a shame big boy talk will be shat on by the likes of whiteboy and every other socially oblivious 17 year old with a tidy blue pill opinion. Good times. It's going to be even more chaotic than the handful of mewling bilge rats we had crying over adult conversation in here.

I agree 100% but the rules stand. Most of the posts that technically should go into AE would be entirely appropriate for MM with just the slightest change of words and/or approach.

Like any system or platform, the creative writer can easily accomplish his purpose within the parameters/boundaries of the system with the judicious use of words.
