I think the entire line was "what, you want a cookie for doing something you're already supposed to do?"
"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.

"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.

This was my biggest problem with my ex-wife. She cleaned the house, I'd come home, start doing something like dishes or preparing supper. She would say "You didn't notice!!!"
I'd be like "what didn't I notice?"
"That I cleaned the house!"
"Well, I go to work everyday and you don't praise me for that"
I can see getting commended every once in a while for doing things like this, but holy fvck. This is 5hit that NEEDS to get done. Dishes need to get done. Laundry needs to get washed. Food needs to be eaten. Babies need to be fed and changed. THIS IS LIFE.
