"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 so stupid.

Last night I was out drinking with some friends, who took off to this dance club that I'd rather not deal with. So, I stayed and had a few too many drinks on my own.

I ran into this girl I vaguely know, who was there with her boyfriend, but she was buying me drinks, so what the hell! Plus the bartender seems to be in love with me, as she kept hooking me up all night. More inebriation.

Anyway, I took out my phone to send a text to this girl I'm seeing. A bit later I realized that I had sent the message to this AW I was hanging out with a few months ago. Her name was right above the other one. I don't know why I still cling to her number. Things ended pretty poorly with us. Definately not on good terms, and I haven't seen her in months.

To make things even worse, I sent another message to her, telling her to pay no mind to my previous message (which was in Spanish anyway, so I doubt she understood it).

Now I feel like an idiot, and she, the humorless ice bltch that she is, didn't even send a response.

So yeah, take the battery out of your phone when you're out drinking or something.
 

"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.

or how bout you simply make sure you send text messages to the right person. having your phone on you at bars is key. then you don't have to grab a pen if you get a girls #. don't blame your mistake on having your phone on you.

Either that or she was doing exactly what you said and paying no mind!:D
