"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.

Did I make a mistake?

Ok was supposed to go out with this girl for the fourth time tonight. She called about a half hour ago which 2 hours before we were supposed to go out and more or less says she is not feeling well but asks if we could go out tommorow.

I am unsure of tommorow becuase I do have other things to do but none of them actually are important, so I just said well I don't know but I could be able to do something with her. She then said something of the nature "ok I will call you and let you know how I am feeling tommorow" and kinda rushed me off the phone.

Anyways, I waited like 10 mins and decided to ring her back, she apologized saying her mom was ringing herwhen we were on the phone earlier. I felt like she might have been pulling a fade becuase she is going away for a week on friday. I more or less said... Listen, I put some things aside on saturday because you wanted to hang out and I would like to continue to get to know you better. I know you don't feel well and your cancelling, thats fine, but I did have other things to do today as well. However, tommorow I do have stuff to do, I don't want to rearrange things although they are not important just everday ****, if you do not actually want to go out. She replies no she wants to go out and what not.

Now did I come off as needy in this situation. I was firm, I showed I think some balls by showing I was upset for the cancellation. I guess what I am asking is by more or less being upfront saying I have **** thats not important but I would rather do that than be stringed along work in my favor, or did I make a jerk of myself.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

you did fine until you called her back. you should have left it where it was, her needing to call you.

so tommorow when we go out, do I apologize if I came off the wrong way, or just take it in stride.
 

"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.

Just take it in stride. If she brings it up
then tell her you didn't mean to be rude
or anything, your a busy man and you
don't have time for games.

Ok so she called today and flat out said that she was really impressed by how upfront I was, she was like most guys would either try to play it off that its nothing or just make an assumption. She then asked if we were still on for tonight......

Anyways, was this a possible **** test? Or should I just not doubt myself and play the situation on the fly and use my best instincts in the future when it comes to any woman.
