"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.

You need a lot of capital. Unless you have a quarter million in cash, I seriously doubt you'll have an option. If you have that much cash and your asking such a open ended question, I question your business sense and ability to operate a business.

my only thought is not to think about getting a loan at the moment.
