"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.

Nicknames

"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.

dude this is so easy, just start busting them on something and one will develop, this one girl I was gaming loved to eat cookies all the time, but she wasn't that overweight or anything so I busted her on it and developed a good neg out of it that was just on the borderline of making her mad, I only refer to her as cookie monster now LOL

I read on SS article somewhere that tell them you have a nickname for them, get them curious. Laugh when you tell her, she will want to know what it is but you NEVER tell her what it is. It's a good way to tease them, I tried it once, it works well.

If you follow behind her in a store, tell her you can smell her. When she asks what she smells like, think of something crazy and then call her that. She will love it. It should be something outlandish like plastic, rubber tire, engine oil, etc. Shock value is important. She knows full well you are teasing but you are showing imagination (or a propensity to be like Atom Smasher). Either one is universally recognized as good form.
Baby Girl, Baby Cakes, etc. when you want to endear yourself to her

Just as bilbo says, you need to tease her about things and when she responds stongly by fake punching you and the like, use a nickname that fits the tease. Don't over-do it, though. It's just like ****y/Funny. It's a tool be used with discretion. But use it, all the same. It is effective for many uses.

I use this too. It's a very good thing to get their curiosity up and keep it there.

Dang it, will someone please PM me about how to multiple quote? I think I'm using way too many steps to do it.
