"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.

i have a lot of accquintances, people I know, talk to, from work, school, clubs, gym, etc

but i only have 1 or 2 close friends with whom i hang out during my free time, but after i started doing more productive things like ballroom dancing and working out i rarely hang out with them anymore.

the new people i met don't go beyond the necessary stuff (i workout with some ppl, work with others, go to school with still different people) we are nice to each other, but can't really call each other friends as we don't go beyond that.

so now i don't really have any friends...i know a lot of people from a lot of areas in life, but i can't really call them my friends.
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

You gotta make the first move with them. Invite 'em to a bar to pick up girls with you, or to hang out and drink. Anything. Be funny and just have a good time, and if he thinks you are cool then you guys can chill again.

I have the same issue. I know lots of people, but I don't hang out with them. I've noticed this with alot of other people though too.

Everyone seems to have a core group of 2-3 people that sometimes connect with other groups of 2-3 people thus forming 4-6 people groups.
