"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.

Was she interested?

I really don't think that is the case. If she really felt that way she wouldn't have bothered texted me after the fact. Mind you, this was 3am.

She wouldn't have taken the initiative to text me after the date if she wasn't interested, either.

And she's probably waiting for me to propose a date.
 

"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.

Too much contemplation here. Sounds like the girl sent you the pre-emptive polite I'm not interested message. In the future kiss on the first date and if you get a message like this there are only two options. Do not respond or propose a second date by telling a girl I'll be at xyz place on such and such date around x time and then go to that place and assume she's not going to show and have fun there.

Sorry to resurrect this "dead" thread but, for the sake of the annals of SoSuave, I'd like to tell you how it resolved.

On Saturday night (err... morning) I passed by her (the subject of this thread) and her friends and made a half-assed attempt to say hello. Only one of her friends saw me, who was with her the time I asked her out. Once I got home, I immediately got a text from the chick:

"Hey! I apparently walked right by you tonight! I'm so sorry! I'm completely sober so I don't have much of an excuse. I hope you're having a great night!"

Then I went on to say, something to the effect, oh your friend must have told you I passed by. Then she went on to say that she had actually told her friend the other day that the date must have gone badly because she had never heard back from me. Apparently, she never received the text I had sent her the following Sunday.

Well, she didnt have to text you at all.

I would have (the next day) texted "I texted you after our lunch date and never heard back from you. Maybe we will see each other around again" and see how she responds.
