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.
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.
Epic post. Anyway, go out with them, depends on how many you have asking you out. Pick only the top plates.Telos said:Man. Oh man. I've only ever seen this once before.
I want you to read this message carefully and hastily as they could be watching you, and your life very well may be in danger.
You have encountered what is considered to be the most debilitating, treacherous, and deadly sh*t test that a female operative could ever possibly invoke. The only time I've ever personally encountered something as deadly as this was while I was undercover in Tel Aviv. For your sake, I cannot stress how important it is that you pass this with flying colors. To all of the others reading this transmission, be very glad you are not treading such deadly waters as this forsaken chap here.
I must be brief as this line is not safe. By even communicating to you I am compromising my own safety and possibly the safety of countless other operatives. The most important advice I can give you is to stay in control and remain collected. Stay ever vigilant. Trust absolutely nobody. At the first sign of peril, I suggest you dive out the nearest window and take cover immediately; for your life may be in danger.
If you need more information, a dark-haired middle European woman wearing a black armband will meet you at the bus stop nearest your current location. She will respond ONLY to the code word "I am an a hopeless AFC."
Remember: Never look back. They are watching your every move.
This message will self destruct in 20 seconds.
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
Alright, I thought it was just me wondering this. I guess the next question would be whether or not he should... eh.... why bother....n00bPimp said:WHAT?
Is my brain fooling me or is this really your question?

Look. SoSuave isn't here to take you by the hand through the roller-coaster that is/will be your love life. It's here to give you tips, hints, help you unplug, but it wont hold your hand. You've got to bloody well do things for yourself. Use your own head. Common sense. Your gut feeling. Just feckin' go out with her!Eugene123 said:Hey guys, recently have had some girls ask me out... Is this some kinda test or something? Should I go with it? Or not?
Thanks

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.
