"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.

Is how I was feeling perfectly normal, or am I being overly jealous?

So got to listen to some girl telling a girl I like that she should hook up with some guy because he's "sooo hot". I've asked this girl out twice, the first time she cancelled because her friend made her come with her to meet some guy she met online (it was the truth, I know her friend. Wasn't a bad idea because there are some weird guys on dating sites). Both her friend and her apologized to me, so it's cool. The second time I asked her out she said she was busy (so either the truth or a lame excuse). Anyway, overhearing her being told to hook up with this "hot guy" sort of annoyed me. But don't know if I'm being overly jealous. Hate being jealous and am really trying to stop it. What do you guys think?
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

For what its worth, it would have bothered me too, if I really liked the girl. Only for a few minutes though.

You should have spoke up. "What am I, chopped liver's cousin?" "forget that nerd. Super-me is here."

PHAT Rabbit - Yeah, not all that interested in "picking up chicks". Would like to get a girlfriend and to become a little good with women (even as good as a normal guy would be a substantial improvement for me). But anyway, not the point of this thread. Basically I'm just trying to be a social guy, hanging out with both guys and girls, and going out with girls on dates every once in a while. Not trying to control anyone, and didn't try and tell her not to hook up with that guy. Never even said anything to her when the other girl told her to hook up with him. Also don't know if she will, although she is really superficial, so most likely she will. I do 100% agree with your opinion on jealousy; would be nice to not feel it at all.

horaholic - I wasn't sure what to say without looking like a jealous ****, figured saying nothing at all is better than something stupid.
