A girl I've been flirting with for a while now has suggested we go rock climbing for our first date. Now, I've never been rock climbing so I don't really know what to expect, so any help from people would be appreciated. Thanks.
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.
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.
Ummm.....Most of us on here do, actually! I dont know about AZ right now, though!I don't like gettin all sweaty on dates.
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.
yes, it'll probably be at one of those indoor climbing gyms, I don't think there are any outdoor clubs around here. And yes I do want to get to know this girl, it's a date afterall, not a fvck session (though the date might have some of that aftereverywomanshero said:Or did you mean one of those indoor rock climbing places? No way would I meet her there. Nothing is going to go down at an indoor place... unless you just really want to get to know this chick for some reason then it's just whatever, doesn't matter.
No, I won't act like some expert idiot, I'll be truthful to her that I've never went, I doubt she'll mind (she might even like showing me something new).Huffman said:Additionally, if you don't know jack about climbing, don't act up. You will really be making a fool out of yourself.
