"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.

So I have really bad sinuses, allergies all my life. I've even had surgery done to drain it, staighten the passages out, etc.

Anyway, Since moving back to south FL my allergies and sinuses are acting up again due to it being FL and full or plants and mold. So I've been having a lot of nasal congestion and the dark circles under the eyes, and my nose being swollen as well, especially on the right side of my noses so it looks puffy and out of line. FOr some reason my right sinus becomes inflamed a lot and swells up.

My doctor gave me the usual snake oils like Claritin and Flonase but those never work. Allergies shots never worked as well and I'd get sinus infections a lot. I did get surgery when I was 16 where they went in and sucked all the gunk out and straightened my nasal passages out. Worked like wonders but now I'm back to the same problems again. Sinus congestion and looking tired.

Any temp remedies you guys use? having dark circles and watery eyes and swollen nose just makes you look worn out and tired and takes years off. I'm going to the ears nose and throat specialist next month. I'm hoping he does surgery and goes in and cleans the crap out. It worked like wonders last time.

the swelling part in my one nostril the doctor said that's allergies that causes it to inflame and swell though.

It also affects my neck as well because I have to bend it a certain way when I sleep so it drains.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
