"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.

5 dates later and still unsure...What to do?

So I've gone out with this girl 5 times over the last month or so. I've been trying to take it slow and not rush things. She has been a hard one to figure out. She is fairly quiet and reserved at first. She's not your typical pretty girl. She was kind of dorky in High School, but is now very pretty. We have a lot of fun together and she's even mentioned to me how much she enjoys my company and talks about things we need to do together.

For Labor day, my work had a get-together at a local theme park. I invited her to come and we had an awesome time. We spent all day together, and at the end of the date I gave her a CD of some songs of mine that she had heard on my Ipod and liked. She was very appreciative, and gave me biggest hug I have ever recieved from her. ( No, I haven't kissed her yet. It hasn't been right.)

I called her two days later and she didn't answer, so I sent her a text telling her to call me when she got a chance. I didn't hear from her until the next day. She texted me saying that she was sorry for not calling back, but she had been busy packing for a work trip. I texted her back telling her "No worries...How is the trip?" She texted back and told me she was on the plane and about to take off and that she would talk to me later.

I'm at a crossroads here. When we're together it's awesome. But then she pulls stuff like this. I'm tempted to just walk way. What should I do in this situation??
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Go out with her 6th time, kiss her, make out, and f-close.

You may be well on the way to being "just a friend." Have you been getting any kino going? She needs to know (without you just saying it directly) that your intentions are romantic. Just going out with her alone doesn't necessarily convey this.

Be manly and go for it. if you are thinking about kissing her, apply the three second rule to that. You have three seconds from your thought of kissing her to laying one on her. By the sound of it, if you don't act on impulse you are going to just think about it too much and never get it done because it has built up too much in your head.

Thanks Cashew. You make a good point. I've just worked it too fast in the past, and got physical way too quick. Not always the girl leaving, many times I get bored once I get the "conquer". I have tried some kino and she is weird about it, she's not touchy feely at all. But her body language is always good. When she is sitting next to me, her body/legs are in my direction.

Man, I like this girl too much. I'm thinking of just backing off for a little bit.

FRIEND ZONE!!!! 5 dates and not even a kiss?? Dude trust me, most girls who argee to go out on a date with a guy, know right then and there that they are physically attracted to him.

Your acting like a friend for the most part, either esclate or stop wasting your time.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

C'mon, packing? She's not even trying at this point. The disrespect is already starting to emerge. Either man up and make a move, or move on.

Kiss the *****.

Before it becomes too late and you enter the "F" word zone.



Seriously. The right time is when its your time. If you FEEL like kissing her DO IT.
