"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.

I recall seeing a topic or an article about reliable ebay retailers for cologne, but in any event, i can't find it.

I am interested in purchasing some colognes off ebay as prices are much lower. My only problem is that i don't know which sellers are trustworthy. Even some with 100% satisfaction might sell diluted cologne to buyers who are none the wiser.

Thanks.
 

"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.

I don't have any sellers to point to, but every time I have bought cologne (mostly Acqua di Gio) it's turned out well - the scents were authentic, and the bottles were full.
The only thing to watch out for are badly photographed or written auctions that aren't clear about whether the items are mini bottles or full-size. They occasionally make decimal place errors that are a tad misleading.

Even if you get screwed I think ebay will refund your money and go after the seller. I've been using ebay forever and I think only once had a bad incident and ebay gave me a refund immediately.
