"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.

hello guys... i've been in canada for 2.5 years now and i'm 17... well i'm a social guy. i know alotta ppl at school. so if i walked down the hall i would get alot of "hi"s. but no close friends. i don't have alotta hobbies but playing guitar because i have to work alot. i dont watch hockey, not interested in races or cars. and it seems like these things what connects the close friends together. but since i don't have anything like that, idon't have any friends.

yesterday was saturday, and i was sitting home. even though i know alotta ppl, i never talk to them out of school, or never get invited to the parties, unless i try really hard :(.

i don't know what to do... i don't have time to read the bible, so is there any section that i should read about making friends. i'm definitly not a loser but it's just that i don't have close friends, that i can call up, u know what i mean...

some nights (like yesterday) i feel really lonely, cuz nothing to do...

is there any thoughs or suggestion,advices... plz hlp me
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

I'm sure that if you are friendly with as many people as you say you are, they wouldn't mind hanging out with you. Just see what they're doing one night and ask them to do something with you.

Even better would be to have a party, organize a football game, have a poker tournament at your house, etc.

read the bible in bits and pieces when you can, if you are sitting home feeling lonely because you have nothing do than you DO have time to read the bible. Don't make excuses like that to not the bible.... just do it.

What do you do for work that you have no time on your hands?

I have the same problem, but I am getting much better. Last night i took twins HB7 to a dance then they showed me a party, so you just have to organize you own stuff.

You also need to chill with people outside of school. If you know alot of people its no big deal to say "Lets chill this weekend, go pick up girls or something" Once you start to build alot of out of school friends like that (and actually chilling with them) you get invited to things.

Least thats how it worked for me :-D
 

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
