"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.

Just received a text from a girl I called last week who I want to have a drink with.

So last week I told her that this Saturday I have time (which is today) but she didn't know for sure.


But I just receive a text saying:
"Hi! Sorry for my really late response.. I can't go tonight, shall I text you this week about when we could have a drink? Xx"


I have a feeling she is trying to take control over when we could go. In this case I don't really care that much because I DO HAVE a busy schedule, so small chance that when she proposes something I have time.



Just let it go and have her lead the time? Or better to say I have a busy schedule and propose some days I have time?

Given your schedule is legitimately busy, wouldn't it make sense to tell her that and propose your own times?

I already kinda explained that to her. But I will just tell her that again and suggest another day...
