"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 am in the process of moving and purchasing alot of new stuff. Desk, tv, couches, chairs etc. I used to have a childish desk with minimal workspace and lots of shelves and cabinents. I am looking for a more professional look, with just a flat surface. I saw one at the store with a glass top, and was skeptical. Do any of you guys have experience with a glass surface desk?

Here is the i looked at. Feel free to post yours!

I don't have a digital pic but I've got a very solid older looking desk. that looks like this one

http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl...&ndsp=20&ved=1t:429,r:2,s:72&biw=1264&bih=575

Picked it up at a yard sale. It looked like crap some kids had it with paint and crayons all over it. Cost me $40 and another $60 to restore it. Great little project. It's a good conversation piece and something that is solid and not gonna break when I move it etc. You might take a look around some garage sales and see if you can find a nice desk.

do you like fingerprints and obvious dust on your table? If not, then don't get a glass table top or you'll have to clean it constantly.

And a sliding keyboard top is a horrible limitation. I'm pretty sure you'll start to hate it.

Get a big, spacious, brown, manly table which can fit your monitor, keyboard, mouse, papers and that lady you're laying. ;)

Try them all to find the ideal height.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
