"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.

A little bit of improvement... or a little bit of regression?

So I'm hyper because today was my last full day. I'm at carline when my friend goes, "Want to do something fun?" and I said "sure". So he tells me that he's going to get random people to sign his friend's yearbook. Then I would do some. We look like jackasses. So this girl I like ends up right in front of us, and I tell him to do it. So he does, and she signs it sweetly to my friend. I'm laughing the whole time. So then she leaves. Minutes later she comes back, and I ask if she could do another for me, sounding like a jackass because I can't help laughing which naturally makes me sound horse. I found out here name when she signed my friend's yearbook, btw. She said yes, but in a weird way. She never did, because I lost track of her. She kept showing back up to get her stuff, but I never talked to her again.



I had the balls to talk to her, but I think I came off as a jackass. Do I write this off as a lost opportunity?

I also did the same to a bunch of freshman (girl I like is too). Am I now an ahole to the whole Freshman class?

I also like this other girl, and she turns out to be friends with someone in my grade, who ****blocks me all the time. I got to get back at him. How do you **** up AMOGs?

You are over thinking this. Walking up to someone you don't know and saying, "sign my friends yearbook" ins't enough for them to formulate an opinion on you. Unless you escelated into a conversation off of that from which it doesn't loo,k like you did. At least you had the balls to approach, now just take it to the next level. Don't write anything off as a lost opportunity yet, you can always come back with another approach along the lines of, "hey, your that girl that signed my friends yearbook last year" or something like that.

About the girls friend that ****blocks you;
You can either try to make a fool out of him by saying something like, "Awwww look its your best friend! I should let you two be alone" or you can just try to isolate her away from him. Either one will work.

they see youre confident, they're probably nervous, and now youre thinking about it too much. you probably intimidate the freshman class, which is great.
