"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.

Have you ever had a golden opportunity to talk to a girl but the band is so loud that you know she won't even be able to hear you if you say something to her? I've never been someone who could pick up a girl without saying a word. Anyhow I broke the 3 second rule tonight when one of the prettiest girls in town smiled at me because the band was too damn loud.

What do you do in that situation? Scream in her ear with your pickup line?
 

"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.

From my experience (limited) try to isolate and get her out of the noise. When the band is so loud you can't hear, you can't expect to make any progress.

I agree with DCC. Maybe point to your half-empty drink and the bar and signal for her to come to the bar area with you for another drink. She smiled at you, so you had a good IOI to start with.



Off topic, I want to caution the other guys against approaching girls that are too close to the stage and look like they are drooling over some band member(s). It's like trying to game a girl that is hanging out by the DJ (disc jockey) booth at a club. It's a waste of time; her eyes are elsewhere. This doesn't apply the OP's situation because she showed clear interest in him.
