All in all, I think things ended nicely. If you were only interested in a chatting partner, then things went great, but if you were looking for a girlfriend, I'd say you failed miserably. Chatting was all you ever did with this girl, Frederick. You remind me of certain salesmen from my selling days who could put on a beautiful presentation but never close the deal. But neglecting to ask for her home phone number wasn't your only error.
Women love confidence.
But when a man tries to broach the subject of dating by dropping hints, it makes him appear timid. As a man, you must have the guts to brave rejection and ask the woman out directly. You must act as if her opinion doesn't affect you. In fact, it doesn't. Before you think I will only devote space in my column to pick on you, Frederick, let me say that your girl's record isn't clean either.
