"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.
Does it look like i care?

"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.

"No, you definately look like the person who stopped caring when she died and came back to life as a predictable-zombie-brat."
"Nah, I wouldn't want you to strain yourself, woman."
"Does it look like it matters, woman?"
"Oh, I think you would if you saw wha I see." Followup: "I see the absolutely sweetest, caring and gay person in the world."
"Shut the **** up. I'll tell you when to care or not."
"Are you trying to make me look closer? I already know the hair is fake - no need to try and fool me to boost your confidence."
"No, I havn't paid you yet."
"No worries? Ok, that's cool... so any flavour works for you?"
"Once upon a time, I would have thought of something ****y and funny to say to that. However, today I'm just in the mood for telling you how I actually stole this line from another guy on SoSuave.com... really... I sit on my ass all day and belive even the most ridiculous things..."

"Well... about your appearance? *shake head sadly*"
"No... I wouldn't expect you to care, you've only known me 5 minutes. You can be horny as hell and it won't make a difference. My impression of you is made."
"Normally, I think you would. But since I'm around - I think you have bigger things to worry about than caring."
"I wouldn't expect you to bring out your motherly instincs this early. So no, I give you permission not to care."
"Wait a minute... I've HEARD THAT ONE BEFORE! OMG you're unoriginal."
"I'm so bored I might just agree with you on that one."
"Stop whining already!..."
Holy sh!t... I'm a genius. I need to be bored more often... I come up with the dummest things in the world. Where's my medal?!?!?!?!?!?
Edit - Btw, original poster. Were you serious about this question? Cause if yes then I think the initial response was the best.
