"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.

Depends on their lifestyle.
I think only someone with that lifestyle would find brunching regularly appropriate. I don't know many non-binge drinkers that frequent bars/clubs every weekend. I am sure there are some outliers, but I do see a correlation.

This is where you show that you think that brunch happens at clubs and bars, it doesn’t, it happens at higher end restaurants.

Have you actually ever been to brunch?

Is a girl who brunches weekly on Sundays a red flag?

I've read some posts here where a girl who goes out on Sunday mornings to catch up with her girlfriends should have a red flag attached, but it makes no sense.
Perhaps not, but I wouldn’t be into it. Don’t go by me though. I went mostly for sedate women. Women who constantly bopped around, ran around the world, and who were in constant contact with one gorillion friends were not my thing. I’m wary of oversocialized women.

I live in the heart of one of the brunch capitals in the country, Nashville TN lol. Your average girl group on brunch are pounding mimosas and wine bottles throughout the day. In addition, there's a lot of bars/clubs that have brunch specials and cater to brunch crowds. Last, I am not anti brunch I just think it is an unhealthy habit if you are doing it every Sunday. Sunday Funday Brunch is fun, but god I can't do that shvt every weekend lol.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

I’d posit that brunch is bigger in Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, upper east coast and Florida (affluent parts).

It seems like it’s a very different scene in the South where you are.
