"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.

Hey guys, so I have a date tonight with this girl a few years older than me. I'm 22 and shes 25. Well anyways, we plan on going out around town for a few drinks, which is all good in my book. I'm a very social guy too, so I never have problems interacting with new people. Now here's where the problem arises..

She's driving down to my town for this date, and if we're drinking, I don't want her to be too drunk to drive home. I'm also between jobs right now too, so I've been crashing on the couch at my friends place.

I'm just sort of worried about how she'll react to this haha. I still haven't told her, but I suppose I'll go by the old "If she can't deal with this then she's not worth my time" approach. I mean, once I find a new job I definitely plan on finding a new place too.

What would you guys do in my situation? A friend of mine jokingly offered to rent out his room to me for $50 :crackup:
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

That's life, man. Like you said, if she can't take it then she's not worth your time.

People overcome worse situations than sleeping on a friend's couch. Besides, you're 22. It's not like the world is expecting you to be established right now.

Why are you going to volunteer information on your living situation? You have no faith in your pimpin'. It's obvious she likes you because she's willing to come to your location. Instead of going back to your place, go to hers. If she questions why you have to go to her place. Make a joke out of it. Say it's crank cooking night and your roomates are cooking up some crank and you don't have a spare hazmat suit.

Or tell her that your inbetween places, because your lease is up and your new apartment won't be ready until the 1st.

Or do the ballsy thing, just take her to your place, make no mention of the living situation, then eff her on the counch and the floor. If you assume everything is normal, then she'll follow along. It's congruence.
