"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.

Ok so I was talking to a girl last night who's pretty close to me (she's a potential girlfriend for me).It was quite late,around midnight or even later. Suddenly,I started talking to her about how every girl thought that guys only wanted to be a girl's boyfriend when they asked for a number.

She replied,'But why do you think so?Did you ask a girl for her number or something?' And this is what I replied,dumb old me.I said,'Oh you mean -one girl-???I've been asking every beautiful girl,honey!'

She didn't talk for much longer after that.Do you think I've screwed up with this girl?Or,in general,what do think this girl is thinking about me right now?

I'm still new to DJing so please help.
 

"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.

No replies; horrible.

Here's one:

I don't think you screwed it up with her ENTIRELY, but maybe you might have given the wrong message to her (could've been your tone of voice, your expression, etc).

HOWEVER, you could've just played it off in a suave manner by saying "Why, what's wrong? Afraid of a little competition?" With a big fat grin on your face. If she's STILL stuck up or something, just say "Oh cmon now, you can take a joke or two..."

I know that C&F is recommended when it comes to flirting with girls, but don't over-do it or say it in a lame tone of voice.

Well you know she only spoke for a minute or something after that and I remember saying,'Yeah the beautiful ones really get me'.

It was late at night both of us were quite sleepy so I don't think she really noticed the tone of my voice;what i said must've mattered more maybe.

Well I met her in school today and she said 'hi' and stuff but didnt talk much after that and went off with her friends.

Probably tone of voice. C&F is nice, but if you can't pull it off, it can backfire. I don't think it caused too much of an effect, but if it did, you might consider backing off a bit, then going back in. There's nothing worse than trying to DJ a girl that hates your guts.
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

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.

Well it depends what kind of person she is. Not all chiks take it seriously, plus she probably doesnt care, its not like u getting married or anything. Every guy should be a chalenge, especially in High School. MY High school has 2500 girls and only 1500 boys.. Well lets get to the point, what u said was normal, she might even took it as a joke. Just act as nothing happened. Good luck

What he said isnt normal. With a girl thats gf potential, thats not something that you say. You dont brag to a girl about how you get other girls numbers. What makes you think she doesnt care even though she stopped talking at that point, shydude?

Well here's an update.I talked to her over a drink at a coffee shop today.She wasn't really angry,but wasn't very receptive either.

I don't know,but I'm not bringing the phone number subject anymore up with her now.Man this is a putdown.

Maybe she didn't care,maybe she did.I still don't know,so I'm playing it pretty safe with the C&F bit right now,maybe atleast for the next week or so.Let the dust settle and I'll see where I go with her after that.

Cheers!
