Long Islanders?

Why "Whatever You Want" Keeps You Single

She says the movie looks dumb; you suddenly agree. She tests you with a little attitude; you apologize for nothing.

You think you're being easy to get along with. She reads something else entirely: a man with no edges. Nothing to hold on to. No friction, no tension, no reason to wonder what he really thinks.

The "22 Rules" taught me to push back — playfully, calmly, without needing her approval. Strange things happened after that.

I see a lot of NYC requests and I'll take the train out to the city once in awhile but it seems like I'm too young for your preference, since I'm only 20. Any Long Islanders out there though? I'd like to hit up the hamptons, there's this sick place called beach bar my friend was telling me about. Maybe we could do some sort of a carpool, since I don't drink, I could drive, while others get wasted and pick up chicks. hit me up here and check out my page www.myspace.com/polira so you at least know I'm not some AFC

"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.
