"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.
To all my brothers in buffalo new York and the upper east coast stay safe this winter

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

The apartment complex cleared the parking lot as much as possible, but I had to dig out my car - and I learned why there are so many stories of men getting a heart attack while shoveling snow - I couldn't believe how much that activity ramped up the cardiac rate!

Canada right?
"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.

Yes, while I'm in Canada, we are actually south of some contintental US states (ie like North Dakota is north from me), but overall Michigan is to the west of us, and New York State is to the East if I was to talk in a hypothetical straight line in either direction. Southern Ontario just dips far down south. Buffalo is not a neighbour, but it is less than a 2 hour drive from here. It's is closer to drive to the States than it is to another province.

Isn't there some big nuclear power plant in that area? I seem to remember this when I once drove from Windsor to Montréal.

Yes, in Pickering, Ontario. However, its quite a distance from where I'm situated. It is going to shut down this decade. I did walk around the boardwalk near the plant in 2014 with my family and ex-wife. Have not been by those parts since. Have some family in Pickering.
