"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.

So usually I give, rather than receive advise, but really guys help me out.

The girl I'm taking to homecoming and I are considered "a thing" as of the last week. We started holding hands and all that good stuff.

The only problem, whereas other girls I have no issues kiss closing... this one I can't seem to do it.

It's still earlyish on in the "relationship" but yeah I've probably missed out on 2 opportunities to do so.

Now I know, I could do the kiss test where I stroke her hair and all that, or run Styles Evolution Phase Shift (found this is a waste of time for high school girls...), but for some reason it feels almost too "fake" to do it with this girl. Plus we both do sports and we can really only hang out on weekends... I can't see us having our first kiss at school.

Really, I like this girl and she likes me too. That should be enough to kiss her but, I dunno why I'm stuck.

Questions, comments, feedback... all appreciated.
Peace
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

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.

man I had this problem my senior year in high school. My girlfriend was a virgin kisser. We were together a month before i even kiss closed. I could have sooner i just couldn't bring myself to do it. I think it was about the time I stopped liking her that i was able to bring myself to it. I felt like $hit about it too. At least I didn't fvck her. I have no desire to take anyones anytype of virginity anymore.

What that had to do with your situation I really don't know. Just reminded me of my own. Trip down memory lane

You might not like my advice but I almost always eskimo kiss first.

Don't know why.

We're generally nuzzling. (I'm grinning like a moron)

Touch noses (...still grinning like a moron I initiate the eskimo kiss, aww!)

Kiss.

Things go from there.

I like it.

rofl...mostly how ive done it is, we'll be standing there alone in the hallway at school or w/e, and we'll be talking and if i notice the conversation is dying, Ill usually grab their hand and just stare at them and smile....if they stare back and smile too....i just go in for it...and that usually works out...she'll end up with her arms around my neck and my hands on her waist and we'll kiss xD

Props for this one homie.

Birthday's tomorrow, homecoming is this Saturday... both spectacular times for a first kiss I'd say.

Thanks for all the info, I think I solved my own problem. It's not that I couldn't kiss-close her, it's that because I like her I want the first one to be "special" or whatever that AFC **** is.

Uh oh, I'm identifying that I'm developing oneitis for this girl, and that I need our first kiss to be special? Am I reverting back to my original AFC days? Naahhh... It's just that this chick is tight and I want more than just a hookup with her.

Thanks for all the advice though.
