"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.

Having returned to school recently, I came across a great site with a few good articles on college dating. I saw something that I wish came out during my freshman year. I figure it's better to put it here than the high school threads, but feel free to check it out.

http://www.collegedatingtips.org/get-laid-college-freshmen

What I learned that any D-Juan, regardless of age, can get out of it:

-First Impressions MATTER: this is a universal rule in and out of college. Have your style fit the age group and fit the niche. In this case, it mentioned owning a cardigan or two, and a great pair of jeans. Oh, and grooming, always a must.

-Make many friends ASAP: Whatever niche or enviroment you're in, make friends, and do it fast. Be the first to break the ice and build your status EARLY.

-Try some low pressure dates with you women: concerts, lunch with friends, sometimes even starbucks. Why go excessive? Sometimes the simple does the trick.

I basically cliff-noted the page I saw, but if you want, take a look. It's worth a check out.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

The sunny side of the street.
It seems like I unwittingly did all that when I was a freshman in college. But there's really nothing new or ground-breaking mentioned in that article; at least nothing that you wouldn't get from the DJ Bible.

And also, it depends on where you go to college. Colleges have a tendency to be dynamic depending on where in the country/region you go.

As a college sophomore I can tell you... almost everyone in college dresses like sh!t. Dress slightly better in any way (whether its preppy, gangster, hipster or your own style) and you're already much farther ahead of the pack. People see you and automatically gravitate to you, then its your job to keep up the rest of the game.
