"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.

Power Pop or early Australian Punk/Wave music suggestions?

I'm looking for Australian early Punk/Wave music suggestions.

I doubt this will get any suggestions, but figured that I'd ask.

I live in the U.S. but really enjoy Australian bands like the Saints, Lipstick Killers, Fun Things, New Christs, Sunny Boys, the Church etc...

Curious if anyone has some similar music suggestions? Also open to older Power Pop suggestions as well.

"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.
