"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

My mom is very fond of dancing and since I was a little girl, she used to enroll me into dancing tutorials. Somehow, I learned to love dancing too. In school, I am one of the cheerleading team. That was before I got into an incident. I lost balance while I am on top. It made me fell to the ground real hard. I had been confined for almost a month because of that. My dad never let me join cheer dances since; it has been one year now. One week ago, our choreographer asked me to be back on the team. There is an upcoming competition internationally and I was tempted to join. My teammates are so excited to win free tour to another country if they will make it to first place. I really love to but I doubt it if my dad will allow me. I understand that he doesn’t want the same incident to happen again but dancing is my passion. How can I make him say yes? I miss dancing so much!
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

You're 20 so you should really be making your own decisions.

"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.

Once again sosuave wins the sucker contest of the internet. Same exact post made all over the net. And sosuavers, so desperate for human contact, jump right and engage in conversation.

Maybe we're just friendly :)

I'm not enabling, I was responding to you, not the bot.
I think you misunderstand my point. You referring to imaginary people needing love, which I understood as a reason for engaging in conversations with imaginary people.

My point was that sometimes you've just got to let imaginary people get out there and figure stuff out on their own. If word gets out that any random imaginary dude from imagination land can come on over to sosuave, start an account and start talking to people, that will keep them from learning how to converse with their own kind.

While I applaud your sensitivity, I think it's actually not helpful to them in the long run. I think they need to just get out of their imaginary comfort zone and get out there and talk to real live imaginary people, and not use sosuave (and the real people who post here) as some kind of intermediary crutch to full-fledged imaginary-social-skills success.

In other words, they should stick to their own kind? I think you are prejudiced against imaginary people, and have violated the rules of political correctness. #tolerance
