"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 was hanging out with this one girl. She never talks about personal stuff with me, and I seriously doubt I'm in the friend zone. Until yesterday.

She started talking about her ex's, and how hot certain guys were. But I also talk to a lot of girls (because I'm working on my DJ skills :) ), so she might be trying to make me jealous.

What do you guys think? Is talking about ex's a bad sign? I've heard it can happen on first dates, but I've never had it happen to me.
 

"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.

On the first couple of dates you are being compared to the ex. That's only natural. If he was really hot and she is still interested in you, take it as a compliment.

Also, it's good in a way for her to talk about her ex's good points with you because she will associate you with things she likes.

However, if it becomes a pattern, it generally means they like still the ex more (or are still seeing him on the side). That happened to me and the relationship was awful.

At some point you have to tell them not to talk about him anymore. This can work for or against you depending on her interest level in you.
