"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.

Looking for something to do with my free time and I was considering reading, since I don't do it as much as I would like. I searched for other book threads but they mostly dealt with self improvement books. I found good stuff and all but I'm looking for books just for pleasure. Some books so far that I want to read

Fahrenheit 451
Catch 22
The Count of Monte Cristo
The Catcher In the Rye
A Clockwork Orange (I seriously cannot find this one anywhere, digital or physical)

More suggestions would be nice. Maybe you can find a book that catches your fancy:D
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Did you read the Dan Brown books? Angels and Demons, and also The Davinci Code are pretty damn good. I used to not want to read them as I thought they were overhyped, but after actually getting it as a gift I started reading them and they are damn good! Read all his books thus far.

I liked Child 44. I don't want to give much away, but it's a story set in Stalin era Soviet Union that deals with the creation and crimes of a serial killer. It's pretty cool, easy to read, and historically intriguing.

Personally, it is difficult for me to get into fiction now days.

But genre

Horror- I am legend

general

The Road was one of the best books (imo) ever.

Level 26- Dark origins

Pretty interesting concept on serial killer genre. It has an interactive website where you punch in a code and see the crime scene.

Bacically, the levels of serial killer are based on levels. And level 26 was invented to characterize this new guy/"
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

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.
