"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.

Most of my friends know about her . She lived to be 82 unfortunately passed away due to complications of diabetes. I guess we could describe our relationship as the same one woody allen had with his mom. She could be overbearing at times. But compared to some other mothers that I knew growing up I know I had it pretty good. When you see TV shows like the sopranos most of the problems are rooted with the characters mothers. If I hadn't discovered this website when I did I would have still been simping over girls who would lead me on like a puppy.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

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.

If I were to blame a parent, I would blame my dad. I love my dad but he lived in a different era and didn't instill the kind of values I wish I had at a young age.

Notably I was bullied during my early school years and my dad always advocated for going through the system; teachers, principals, etc, which never solved my problem. Meanwhile my mom was the one that suggested I fight so I wouldn't have the problem in the future.

When it comes to blaming one's mother...I mean, that just goes back to not asking a deer how to hunt deer, but ask a hunter.
