"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.

hey all,
There's this chick I know, name's rebecca, we'd talk on aim everyonce in a while, so we were friends you know, I'd always cared about her, she was like a sis to me.
about a week and a half ago... her and her parents were in a car accident,
from what I've read about it, some drunk ba*tard was driving on the free way, and just lost control and broadsided their car, slamming it into a wall; Rebecca was the only one who had her seat belt on, and both the drunk and her parents were killed.
I first heard about it from her friend, she was staying at her aunts, who incidently lived close to me, I got the number from her friend and called. she was cold, like scary cold. she had this monotone voice that masked such pain I almost couldn't take it.
I asked her if I could go up there, and talk, there an almost 60 second pause, then she "please."
I drove to her aunts and knocked, her aunt had a nurses convention and was gone for the weekend.
she opened the door, and she looked just hopeless. I held her for a while, she was so scared.
I dunno really, we just kinda moved to the couch and she fell asleep in my arms, and I was content just to comfort her. I guess in a nutshell I realized like this girl, but she's been through so much, and I'd hate to take advantage of something like that.
I don't know
what should I do?

naw it's not like that, I've just kinda realized I care about her more than I thought, I'm just wondering wether I should ever date her, or just stay friends. I'm kinda aiming for just staying friends, for at least a year or so, until she's a little more stable, and maybe then.
I wasn't talking about taking advantage of her, that would be just wrong
