"The Kiss of Death Mistake"

You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?

Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.

One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.

Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.

This girl is an athlete at my school. She's uniquely beautiful, imo. Anyway, we're merely acquaintances, just "hello, how are ya? how was your summer?". But I asked her if I could do an interview with her for one of my journalism classes.

So she asked if I wanted her number ... obviously I said yes.

I figure I'll do the interview. Then later just ask if she wants to get coffee or something, continue building rapport, and then ask her to dinner when it's right.

Is there anything I'm doing wrong, or anything more I should do? It's almost too early for complimenting ... I'm not quite sure about conveying attraction in this case.
 

"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.

There doesn't seem to be naything wrong. She agreed to the interview and SHE OFFERED her number. Just be cool and go for it.

An update:

My editor for this thing said I can't do it because it doesn't relate to the internet.

( onlinejournalism.com if you're interested)

Good news is I still have her number. But I don't want to make it look like I lied just to get her digits. I figure I should have two separate convo's; one to tell her no interview and one to ask her to get coffee.

Or should I flat-out tell her literally that "I don't want you to think I was bs-ing you to get your number but ... coffee?".

there's no need to lie. just tell her the truth. you didn't know the interview had to be something on the internet, but you still think she is interesting and would like to get together some time for a cup of coffee and some stimulating conversation.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

She was the one who offered her digits so it doesn't matter.
