"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

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.

So Friday was my last day of work at my job, and as I was packing up my things, the girl I'm kind of interested in comes over and gives me her phone/email, says to keep in touch. We've exchanged a couple emails and decided to meet this weekend for coffee, which is cool.

Do you guys have any suggestions on late-afternoon stuff to do afterwards? I want to have a vague idea of stuff to do if we decided to hang out for more than a cup of coffee.

Any suggestions are appreciated!

I think this girl has a little more class than that. Not sure she's a huge drinker, but definitely not the type to take to a bar at 4pm.

I told her we should meet at 4pm. I figure if things go well we can do dinner somewhere. I think this one is convinced that I'm a classy guy, cause I was usually pretty professional at work. What a sucker!

Hopefully she's a drinker, otherwise it will be an interesting day.

Getting something to eat is always good. Keep it casual and not too expensive.

If things are going very well, no matter how "classy" she is, there is a good chance she will be open, even suggest, going to a bar for some drinks. She just needs to relieve some anxiety.

If you have access to a beach, you can go there in the evening.

I live spitting distance from Lake Michigan, but we just had record cold temperatures and there's a half a foot of snow outside. This isn't California!

I hope you're right. I guess we'll see what happens. I always flirted with her at work (she's HOT!), but I didn't work there very long, so don't know her very well. I remember one day she gave me a double take when she saw me decked out in a nice suit (I used to work for a high class suit manufacturer, so have some nice custom made garments, and I was going straight to a wedding that day), which was amusing. But I digress.
 

"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.

Not sure if this is good or bad, she said she had a thing at 5, so didn't want to meet for such a short period of time; she lives on the other side of town. Work is closer to my place so she said we'll hang out after work sometime next week.
