"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.

Answer these 9 fun questions.

1. How many tourists living in this camp?
2. When did they come here: today or several days ago?
3. On what did they come here?
4. Is it far to the nearest town?
5. From where does the wind blow: from north or from south?
6. What time is it now?
7. Where did Shura go?
8. Who was sentry yesterday? (name him)
9. What date and month is it now?

 

"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.

Why do you think like that?

5. From where does the wind blow: from north or from south?

WRONG!

Look at the trees, branches are bigger from south side and smaller from north. Wind is blowing from SOUTH to NORTH


6. What time is it now?
6:00. dinner time?
WRONG!
Let me refraze the question. What time of day is it now? Morning, afternoon, evening, and why?


7. Where did Shura go?
??
There are four guys, Kola, Feda, Vasa, and Shura. Where did Shura go? What is he doing?

8. Who was sentry yesterday? (name him)
??
Name the guy that was sentry yesterday?

9. What date and month is it now?
October. Pumpkin on the blanket.
What is today's date and what month is it now? On the blanket is water melon.
