"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 can't tell if my prom date likes me!

That's kinda strange to say, I guess, but I'm in a sticky situation. For prom + limo + 2 night afterparty I'm paying around $300 for me and the same for my date. I don't want to bring some girl as just "friends," and ideally there should be a lot of hooking up involved on prom night. So I ask this girl I work with to prom, and she accepts. She's gorgeous and I love her personality, and she accepts the invitation. Only thing, we've only hung out like once. So I'm going to prom with a girl I don't really hang out with.

I figure, ok, hang out with her, but things have been getting in the way of that. Friday night she couldn't chill because she had SATs on Saturday, Saturday night I forgot to call her, but she didn't call me either. Then, come Sunday, she's mad I didn't call her on Saturday, so we make plans for the night. I get out of work and call her, and suddenly she has a family obligation, but really wants to chill soon, and will visit me at work on Monday.

I always get greeted with a kiss, and she seems really proud to introduce me to her friends as her prom date, and referred to herself as my girl a couple of times, but we still haven't hung out at all. I don't know what to make of her. =\

maybe she is, maybe she isn't. she's your prom date now. that's what's important. so what if you've hung out with her only once?! it doesn't matter. you're gonna be hanging out with her anyway.

Exactly, she accepted your invitation, therefore, she was interested :] This is your chance to finally hang out with her. Take advantage of it.
