Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
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.
You're probably the reason why this post is four stars...Originally posted by HappyHobo
This post isnt very good. it is below average but not awful.
How it got 4 stars is beyond me. 2 stars would be say best about this post.
These are things everyone has said before and where your "own insight " lies in this post is nowhere. I never knew repeating what other people have said in other posts and bunching them in concise numerous sentences saying "do this, and not this" made up a good post.
The real good posts are the long insightful ones about one subject. Not a bunch of things said by somebody else crammed into one long list telling us to "do it."
Yours is a "do it" post and those are bad. This forum is loaded witih afc's so when they hear your tips they like what they hear because it is totally new to them because they never even touch the bible before they come to this forum.
We all can see the evidence from the posts that AFC's post up asking basic things that could be answered from reading the DJ bible. Most AFC's dont read the bible and thats a shame because there are more AFC's on here than DJ's.![]()
