"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.

Quick question based purely on curiousity...

Lately, I've noticed some good looking girls call me "dude" in response to questions or statements, etc.
I'm not sure if it should be taken as a term of endearment or an IOD.

Does anyone have any past experiences that could indicitate where it lands on the IOI spectrum? I'd rather be called "dude" then "bro", I'm just not sure if it should be taken as flirtacious or the oposite.

For what it's worth, my sister and her fiance refer to eachother as "dude" all the time, so I'm thinking it could be a good thing.
 

"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.

Lol.. like I said its just a quick, silly question..

I saw a guy here say in his experience he found being called by his last name to be a huge IOI, so I'm just thiking along those lines
