"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.

a girl i havent talked to in 2 years made contact with me its the type of girl i used to really like but she said i was like a brother.... doesnt that suck lol. anyway i messaged her on myspace and at the same time she texted me ( didnt think she still had my cell # so i wasnt gonna text her then be like its me mike). after i texted her a lil bit she randomly called me at like 12 at night and talked ot me till bout 1 30. i was joking wiht her and stuff 2day and had let herr kno im not the same person i was in school ( very over wieght anti social and depressed very badly) ive lost wieght now only 225 but its not just fat im muscular 2 and im no longer depressed or afraid to meet people. now that i said the background i was wonderin if i could get tips on how to find out if she likes me and maybe a few things to text her to get a luagh or something. im thinking bout asking her out but i wanna get a lil chemistry back just not back into the friend zone (she said she is single and had finally gotten over her last ex a few weeks ago) ideas?
 

"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.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

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.

This is why she says that she likes you like a brother. You spent too much time talking to her about mundane things.....unless your conversation with her is you asking her out,or you speaking to as a man talks to a woman who he's interested in. If not,then you just re-ignited your friendzone status with her.

You made an unintentional mistake here. You told her that you weren't the same person you were in school. You shouldn't have done that. Instead of telling her that you were different,you should have just showed her by the way you talk,how you carry yourself,etc. By you telling her that you weren't the same,it was kind of like you trying to convince her that you were different. "I'm not the same person I used to be. I'm not. No really,I really am different". You see what I'm saying?

I don't know if this is possible. If she just called you out of the blue,then more than likely,she still sees you as the guy she put in the friendzone,and you talking to her for an hour and a half on the phone about nothing just reenforces that view of you. If the whole time you two have be in contact with each other since getting back in contact after 2 years has been nothing but friendly talk and conversation,just like it was 2 years earlier,then it's probably already over with. You can ask her out if you want,but you know that that'll be the end of your friendship with her.
