"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, anybody know what causes muscle spasms? I've been having a lot of them lately in my tricep muscle.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

never had em in my tricep, but im pretty sure that if you drink more milk they will decrease in frequency. You may still get them occasionally, so i geuss its just one of those things. But drink more milk, and if that doesnt help, ask your doctor, thats why hes there :).

heh

How obvious are they? When I was in high school there was this guy who had spasms in one of his arms. After I first noticed it, I'm not sure they ever went away.. maybe over a year. And no, I'm not just over observant. It was like his arm was have an epileptic seizure.
