"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.

so i've almost never gone out on the weekends with my friends. the really good friends i have are all nerdy and don't get out much either so they don't invite me to anything. but the new popular friends i've made don't invite me to do anything either. i mean i have friends in school, but not really "close friends" that invite me to do shiz with them... wuts the problem?
 

"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.

You'll have to give some in order to take back some. You'll have to earn their trust or just don't know enough people. Either way, you should try to go out alone. I learned that the hard way, never rely on others.

um are you sure your new friends are really your friends? If so, then get one of their numbers and call them on the weekends instead of waiting for them to call you

Sometimes you have to invite people out, or ask what they're up to and see if you can come along.

I always used to wait for people to invite me first... didn't go out much. If people don't invite you out, it's not always because they don't want to hang out, just that you're not on the radar as someone to hang out with. Or they may all do X on the weekends, and you give off a vibe that you wouldn't be into X, so they assume you wouldn't want to come. Or you seem to already have friends so they assume you're busy.

from my experience you have to build a certain comfort level with them. i have some friends who last year started to chill with these other dudes. i didnt know the other guys but i tagged along. there were times where they would chill and not call me out and when i'd chill with them it was only with my previous friends not the new dudes they met. then i made an effort to get to know them..joked around with them and all that crap until we could relate and "bonded". now we all chill, they call me up, i call them....
