"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.

Some interesting comments as well.

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.

This is a well worn path that women have been gibbering about for ages....however what is interesting is that neo-liberal elite publications such as Atlantic and NPR have taken up the torch for female hand wringing. This is likely a sign that the negative effectives of female hypergamy is reaching the top of the pyramid..upshot for men? More wealthy, forlorn, alcoholic, yoga toned puzzy to pump and dump if you have the style and panache to pull it off.
