"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.

Tips for Improving looks

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

What kind of advice exactly are you looking for?

I'm not feeling the sweater. It looks like the shoulders sag and the sleeves look a tad short. It also seems too long, but I can't really tell. Overall the idea is not bad, but the shirt kills it - I would definitely close some more buttons (all but the top one).

I can't tell what kind of pants you're wearing, but if you want a cheap recommendation; go cop a pair of Levi 511s (slim fit) in either dark indigo or black. Note: solid colour!!!! No cheesy washes/sick fades. Also, avoid light blue etc. like the plague. Be sure to get the right size as they stretch with wear (i.e. the size where you can barely close the button at first). Rock some black oxfords and a black leather belt and the lower part of your body is sorted.

As for tops, I recommend sticking with the "button-up + something" idea for this season. Get basic sweaters and cardigans in black/grey/white (or earth tones). By basic I mean no graphics and no logos and the like. Raid your local H&M. What to avoid: zip-ups, hoodies, graphic tees. And is that what I think it is? A left hand with no watch? Go get yourself a nice one!

Also, this doesn't look gay in the slightest. You can worry about looking gay when you start wearing purple skinny jeans and pink chucks. Girls can tell when a man is well dressed, and with good fitting items this look can be classified as 'well dressed'. This definitely gives you a one-up on guys in oversized plaid shirts and cheesy ironic graphic tees.

Tip: google styleforum and find the What are you wearing now thread in Streetwear & denim.

Flatten the hair. You already have a long face, it makes it look longer. The sweater makes you look like a frat guy.
You're a bit skinny. Solution: eat more and workout
 

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

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.

Lose the sweater. You look like a tri-lambda.

Google some hot fashions or watch what people playing rock/ metal music wear.

Gain more muscle, seriously it works. I went from 145lbs in May to currently 175lbs and girls notice that stuff.

i think the sweater's pretty cool, and i know lots of girls that would think so too.

i'd say wear what you want, as long as you're comfortable with it then who cares what anyone else thinks?

its good to wear different stuff

don't follow the trends if they're not for you
