"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.

what are the rules for living with females, esp. friends of a friend that you do not know but will be sharing an apt. with. Is a hookup out of the question?
 

"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.

There aren't exactly rules but I don't think it'd be too wise if you're on a year-long lease to have some dumb **** happen due to the hookup halfway through. If you're coming through briefly as a subletter it's different. I've lived with girls and trust me, they do enough annoying girl stuff (seriously, how the **** do they talk for 2 hours about absolutely nothing in broad emotional terms?) without the added problems that can come with hooking up.

Well since its three months, have at it, just do what you do, but definately avoid coming on two strong because it will really build up steam if they don't like you, and they can't feed you the normal crap because they live with you.

If you can make your moves just right you could very well end up with both of them, who knows, maybe both at the same time.

Swing for the fence man.
