"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

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.

I started reading his book. A few questions. Did someone combine all his posts and make a book about it without his consent? Also, when Pook posted here, did he only start threads or did he also reply to other people's questions?

Thanks
 

"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.

From looking at the book, it does look like it was made after he had left the community.
Maybe they didn't want those good posts to go to waste or whatever. Either way, it's quite a useful source, so I'm glad I was able to read it.

The book has links to the posts that Pook made, so if you click on them you'll see that some are his own threads and some are replies to other people's threads. However, Pook seems to state that his posts were predominantly for himself so that he could get his head straight.

You need to be aware however that the internet and this community was much different in 2002.
