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.
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.

You know what I find that is kinda humorous to say the least. A lot of the people that have been married for thirty years plus that were the first boyfriend/girlfriend relationships are usually the happiest.girlsarecrazy said:LTR are fun if both people have been through a couple of relationships in the past. Don't hold a LTR each of you are each others first bf/gf.
It's because they both have oneitis for each other.comic_relief said:You know what I find that is kinda humorous to say the least. A lot of the people that have been married for thirty years plus that were the first boyfriend/girlfriend relationships are usually the happiest.
Of course, these are the groups that are from a bygone era. So maybe that has something to do with it.
