"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.

I'm looking for suggestions on what to do with this situation.

Girls:
Ex (1)
Girl that I like (2)

Situation:
1 is my ex. 2 thinks I still have feelings for her, because I'm not talking much to my ex and my discussion with 2 over how i'm not talking to 1 prompted it. I was able to get myself out of it though the fact that i've been trying to fit work and school together (I woulda lost the first semester because of absenism) and how I just obtained a job within my job as computer tech for the entire building, along with pressing money issues, future, teaching others. I don't have a lot of time, so I have no desire to have to deal with 1's *****ing and complaining that she's out of the loop.

Problem I think:
I think that 2 will not budge because of how she thinks I still have feelings for 1, even after a year.

Solution I think:
I do not have the time to talk to 1, nor do I have any real desire to. I'm afraid that 2 will not take kindly to anything that I do to flirt/advance/etc.

Suggestions please? (it was short and sweet because I don't have the time to sit here and type it out gracefully)
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

2 is insecure, you don't like one, so find a 3.

Just flirt with 2 anyway, if she doesn't like it what have you got to lose? And be paitient.. You can't expect an instant answer.
