"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.

What to do about a cokblocking friend..

Go out tnite, he shows up later. As I'm talkin to this girl as I put it work for the first 3 quarters he comes into the 4th and tries to pull the shwoop. I brush it aside and me and her go off but later on he continues to pull the same crap. She's drunk so he's shwoing her attention and I end up walking away to get another beer and he comes up to me when I get back and goes "bro if you don't pull it I will".. at that point I just told him to go for it.

If it was a one time thing I'd just brush it off but this guy seriously does it everytime we go out, and I love the dude but idk whether I call him out or just work on my game more and leave it alone. It's like he would rather shwoop his bros than be wingman everytime. We all kno it but I'm wondering if I'm wondering if I even have a reason to be upset..
 

"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.

Don't be friends with anyone who uses the word "bro." Those are always the guys who will mess with your sh--.

Problem solved.

sounds like he is the alpha and your the beta when it comes to you guys. He is not being a ****block I have had friends say that to me plenty of times "if you won't get her I will"

that's a man way of encouraging you to go ahead and get the girl and stop wasting time.

A ****block would be if he was talking trash to you in front of her or something.
