"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.

Today I suffered a pretty embarrassing moment after lunch. My friends have a habit of dunking on whoever walks under the door.(lol. I know were silly) Today one of them dunked on me. I ran to get them back. I jumped to dunk on him from the front and he pushed me in mid-air. I flew back started back pedaling 6 feet back until I fell on my butt in front of a decent number of ppl and I run after him. (Note that this guy is about 225-240 pounds and I'm 176 pounds)

I felt so embarrassed (but I played it off with a laugh) at first because I fell on my butt in front of 15-20 but then I remembered that sometimes you have to learn how to laugh at yourself. Rather than run and hide after a public slip-up, laugh at yourself. Hence, others are less likely to remember the event. On the other hand, they'll remember a negative reaction

For all those who easily embrassed. Work on your insecurities. Insecure people are easily embarrassed. Nobody is perfect, and everyone makes mistakes.

Also you can just add it to your repertoire of stories where the joke was on you.

Enjoy the laughter of the crowds from and the sense of solidarity they have with me as a fellow human who understands what they are going through in life.

Remember that we all will go through embrassing moments in HS, College, and in life in general but remember that you shouldn't take things too seriously because if you laugh at yourself every now and then. By doing this your more likely to get over it quickly. And girls will notice that your a fun person and that you don't take things too seriously.

"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.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

good advice, kinda already knew though. i turn into brass occasionally as well (sorry, i just like to rag on people who cant spell haha embarrassment)
yeah i always just laugh it off as well. so far ive fallen off my bike countless times in heavily populated places (a curb, attempting to hop a crevice, being pushed playfully by a friend, attempting to hop a parking block thing, going from grass>sidewalk, being a dumbass, to name a few). i always laugh it off, and almost always for the next few days i get comments like 'hey youre the guy who fell into the mud/face/etc!' or something like that haha. so its actually a good thing sometimes

oh yeah btw, whats a dunk?
