You could always say. " I know . That really sucks. I have an idea that might help if you are interested." Then wait for her to ask, do not jump in, do not pass go, do not collect $200.
Women like to know that they are being heard and understood. I had that issue with the door yesterday and asked 4 guys that I know in RL. Not one offered to help but either told me not to do it, how to do it or that (2 of them) they really didn't know how to do it. I am all up for trying but I also know that if I do ask for help that two of them would come help. Normally if it was something that wasn't too much trouble, they would have said I will be right over.
See, I am learning how to read guys too.
