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.
