The library is close to my house, so I was walking home from it when this happened. A group of 5 cute girls called me up. We started talking and I played it cool, kept my answers short and vague. They asked me things like "Do you like me?" and I said "maybe", "sure" stuff like that. Then they all asked me for a hug, so I did that. I didn't number-close or anything, but that's okay since they live right across the block from me. (One lives across my house). When I was leaving, one of them came up to me and asked me if I would go out with her friend, one of the girls. So I said "yeah" and continued on. What would you've done in all of these situations? Did I handle this the right way?
"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.
How would you have handled this situation?
