"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.

Well, this chick on my FB who's always liking my stuff messaged to ask me what I'm up to. I fancy going to the beach so I just flat out asked her if she wanted to do that, she said yes immediately.

Probably going this weekend or next. Stupid thing is, I don't even know what I'm trying to do here. I know that sounds super weaksauce but bleh.

Busy asf with work still and this chick's cute but I'm not that bothered either way, got enough drama in my life at present.

She's foreign and won't be around for a whole lot of time, so if anything it's probably going to lean towards sexual rather than a relationship. Ofc since I'm still carrying the ol' v-card, don't know how much I'm into the idea of a fling.

Also her interest in me seems pretty much platonic, but at the same time I find it weird she wants to hang at the beach alone, so God knows. Part of the reason it never goes anywhere is that I'm not 100% feeling it with her I guess.
 

"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.

So it got to the day of the beach meet with that chick, then she just gives me this in the morning:

"Hey sorry, I have a friend coming to town so I can't do today."

Such a poor excuse that it feels flat out like a s**t test to me. We arrange a meet a week ago and then she just decides to give some friend priority over seeing me?

Of course she then suggested two other days we could meet, both of which were inconvenient to me so I just said "Yeah okay another time." and I haven't bothered talking to her since. I'm just going to go silent and if she gets her s**t together and apologises that's fine, if she doesn't she's not getting my time again.

I wouldn't be surprised if the "friend" is some Chad anyway, she's always going on to me about how single she is. Ridiculous.

On the other hand I had a pretty hot chick "super like" me on Tinder today. Not sure what to think of that, probably the first super like I've had.
