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.
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

I don't see the point of getting along with the average joe, unless he offers value to your life.
If you want friends, then just focus more on showing yourself friendly to other people. If you think you're coming across as too cool, try to be more outgoing to those who might not be as cool as you. Also, start looking for mutual points of interest that you may share with other people, then start conversations with them about what you KNOW they already care about. People usually have no problems talking to you if it gives them an opportunity to share their opinion on something.cola said:People just don't like me but I get girls .. but I want to get along with people too..
