"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.

So you check your phone and you have 5 Text messages. You're hoping it means 5 dates lined up with 5 women. But they are all from your same one guy friend and they go:

"Hby"
"Hey"
"Dude"
"What's pp?"
"up?"


If I get one more message like this I'm going to break something.

People who communicate like this (namely like a drunk, 12 year old girl) should go to jail. I'm not kidding. Even ISP's (who call this 5 messages) should be arrested. Certain people EXCLUSIVELY text crap like this.

"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.

You get way too bent out of shape about how people text. It's probably the same type of obsessive traits that enable you to remember birthdays.

When a guy sends you a one word text like this, he's checking to see if you're around your phone so he can talk to you about what he really wants to talk about. It's no reason to break something. If you get this wound up about texting, maybe you should get rid of your cellphone, or get a plan that doesn't include texting (if they even still have those).

We should remember never to text women 5 messages with one useless comment. You can bet they wish 5 messages were from 5 different guys.
 

"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.
