"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.

Ok basically I don't know wtf to do. I just got the following email from a friend of mine. We're not really that close of friends, but I chilled with her quite a bit last year

"Popeyes i have something to say to u... this is a little hard for me...ok

here goes

Popeyes....ever since september last year ive had feelings for u..i told myself again and again to put them behind me...but i realized last nite when i was looking at your picture on my lap top...that..i just cant

Popeyes i love you....please call me so we can talk about this...**********"

Ok so I'm a 2nd yr university student and I've known this girl for the whole of last school year and the beginning of this one. I wouldn't say we are really good friends, but I went over her house with these guy friend of mine quite alot, mainly because one of my guy friends liked her (he told her this, but she basically told him that she didn't want to ruin their friendship, but they still seem cool and chill a bit). So I'm not sure what to do. She sent me this email on Thursday and I didn't check my email till today. And I did this by logging on MSN messenger and then reading it. The thing is she was online @ the time so basically right after I read it I logged off, so she probably knows I've read it. Now my problem is how do I convey to her that I don't see her that way, and like being her friend, without fvcking up her self esteem or whatever. Mind you I've never been in this type of situation before and want to let her down easy without having things get all fvcked up. Basically have any of you been in this type of situation and what did you say/how did it turn out/etc. Just looking for some advice here.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Like you said she isn't that close of a friend anyway. Just tell straight up that you don't feel the same way. If she drops out of your life no biggie. Its not your problem.

So what exactly did you say?

Anyways I'm thinking of just emailing her back, it seems like it's gonna be wierd on the phone.
 

"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.

Oh god...

Just tell her you're not interested.

Seriously... that's it. There's nothing you can say except LIE to preserve feelings. ANd that's what women do. Except they do it poorly and PATRONIZE you and give you false hope.

Be a decent person and just say sorry i'm not interested in you in that way. Then it's her problem if her self esteem is soooo damaged. If her self esteem is so hurt maybe that's why you're not interested in such a weak individual.
