"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

Have a log-in/log-out time sheet, so we know whos been posting 1 or however hours ago. Most other forum sites have this.

And also, have a points chart, whoever has the most posts would be on this list as #1 and the list continues to #50, this shows who frequents the most here and could lead to how much they know about DJ and this forum.

"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.

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.

posts don't matter, the quality of the posts matter. Yet again, 1000 posts of fairly good advice and reading, even over a short period of time, is valuable.

Yes I know that, if someone is caught spamming just to reach the top, moderators would know this and reset his voting counts.

Quality posts should only be counted, of course.
