A: Why do you care? You know she wants you. Only the betas get frustrated at that LJBF game.

So I met a girl for a first "date" over coffee. She didn't like that I travel full time for work, doesn't think you can build a relationship on just weekends. It's a pretty good point and I didn't argue it. So she said we should probably just be friends. I gave the obvious response, "Great, a guy can't have too many friends!" and carried on like she hadn't said anything.

Second date is Friday.

Just another reminder that you get nowhere playing her games, don't worry about the details of what she says, just be charming, confident, and funny. The rest will fall into place.
