"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 am 31 and already hung out with this 23 year old three times. I was not too attracted to her from the beginning, but she was decent and I figured maybe I could "hook up" with her.

The problem is, she lives at home and so do I. She is also not that type of girl (so it seems). This girl seems alot more into me than vice versa, which makes me uncomfortable (I would rather be the one getting dumped).

I am supposed to go to this bar with her tomorrow night and will probably still go.

Should I end it on myspace, in person (tomorrow night) ignore her calls, or end it on the phone?

I kind of feel ignoring her and the myspace thing is the cowards way out...but I have only been out with her a few times.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

There's an easy out. Just start pushing her hard for more physical stuff. "Put out or I will have to move on." If she obliges, it's what you wanted anyways, right?

I couldn't do that, that is borderline coercion/sexual assault.

Central.

Too late, I told her on myspace It would be best to not see each other. I figure after only three dates, I don't OWE her a face to face talk or phonecall.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

It's too late to answer, but I bet if you acted AFC she'd have ended it by the 4th date :)
