"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.

Do you go Cruising and parking lot chilling to destress sometimes? I mean just go slow drive in the slow lane with your favorite music on, chill out to some Sade or Jack Johnson on in the radio and go park at a nice scenery somewhere to just chill out. While you're there, you can listen to the radio, be creative and pull out your smartphone and make a Youtube video rant over a particular topic you're interested as I've noticed a lot of youtubers likes to make their rants on their car. If you're a pipe smoker, now would be a great time to smoke that pipe with the windows down. I particularly like to go on a Dunkin Donuts run and park in a Denny's parking lot in the middle of the night so the cops won't go suspicious of my activities. What about you? How do you like to roll?
 

"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.
