Did I play this right?

"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.

It's not the right way to let her to initiate without successfully sleeping with her a couple of times.

Reason being you're letting her take the dominant role in setting up a plan.

She won't do it, especially because she didn't enthusiastically respond to a hang out.

The best thing for you right now is dead silence for a week or so, talk to other girls, make new fun plans and let her think about the possibility of never hearing from you again.

Take time off her. It's called a soft next

"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.
