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.
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
Epic post. Anyway, go out with them, depends on how many you have asking you out. Pick only the top plates.Telos said:Man. Oh man. I've only ever seen this once before.
I want you to read this message carefully and hastily as they could be watching you, and your life very well may be in danger.
You have encountered what is considered to be the most debilitating, treacherous, and deadly sh*t test that a female operative could ever possibly invoke. The only time I've ever personally encountered something as deadly as this was while I was undercover in Tel Aviv. For your sake, I cannot stress how important it is that you pass this with flying colors. To all of the others reading this transmission, be very glad you are not treading such deadly waters as this forsaken chap here.
I must be brief as this line is not safe. By even communicating to you I am compromising my own safety and possibly the safety of countless other operatives. The most important advice I can give you is to stay in control and remain collected. Stay ever vigilant. Trust absolutely nobody. At the first sign of peril, I suggest you dive out the nearest window and take cover immediately; for your life may be in danger.
If you need more information, a dark-haired middle European woman wearing a black armband will meet you at the bus stop nearest your current location. She will respond ONLY to the code word "I am an a hopeless AFC."
Remember: Never look back. They are watching your every move.
This message will self destruct in 20 seconds.
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
Alright, I thought it was just me wondering this. I guess the next question would be whether or not he should... eh.... why bother....n00bPimp said:WHAT?
Is my brain fooling me or is this really your question?

Look. SoSuave isn't here to take you by the hand through the roller-coaster that is/will be your love life. It's here to give you tips, hints, help you unplug, but it wont hold your hand. You've got to bloody well do things for yourself. Use your own head. Common sense. Your gut feeling. Just feckin' go out with her!Eugene123 said:Hey guys, recently have had some girls ask me out... Is this some kinda test or something? Should I go with it? Or not?
Thanks

Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
