"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.

Months ago I went to this pharmacy and I thought the cashier gave me less change, I was missing the equivalent of five dollars. I asked the cashier something about it and the cashier looked at me confused and said everything was ok.

I was in a hurry and five dollars is nothing so I left and forgot about it. I returned days ago and the cashier recognized me instantly and gave me the five dollars. It was all an honest mistake and the cashier had figured it out that by the shift´s end when there was 5 extra bugs; the cashier had stored the money away, waiting for months to give it back to me.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

It would probably be my Military Service in a nutshell. Sure I met a bunch of @ssholes but there everywhere, but I met plenty of great people who saved my behind a few times from a few close calls and took me into their homes during holidays or events where I'm away from my family etc. Good stuff.
