"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.

So today i was eating lunch in the caf at school and i went to buy some food. The special was a burger, fries and a drink so I got that and went to sit down and eat. A little while after one of my friends came over and just grabbed some fries and took some of my drink. I didn't mind about the fries and I just gave her the drink since it tasted pretty sh*tty anyways. Still though, I found it kinda rude how she would just grab something like that in front of my face without asking so I gave her a "reallly?" face and went on with eating and chatting. Whenever you order fries it's expected that people will mooch off you so it didn't bother me much but I was completely unprepared for her to grab my drink too.. I didn't really want to make a scene so I just kept cool but in my mind I was thinking "what the fvck..?"

Its the first time in a while I found myself unsure of how to react. I know this obviously isn't that big of a deal but I don't want to find myself in a similar situation when something actually matters and be taken advantage of. This girl was in a modelling competition recently and scored pretty high and I've always got a "I'm the sh*t" kind of vibe from her; I feel like this could have been a some kind of sh*t test against me. A lot of guys in my grade think she's hot which probably fuels her ego quite a bit; I've never been attracted to her because she can be somewhat of an air head sometimes. None the less, we did talk a bunch last year and a bit the year before so we're pretty close I suppose.

How would you guys react? Do you also find this disrespectful or do you think I am just being stupid? Was this a sh*t test?
 

"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.

lol i feel like this thread was so stupid now.. Now that I reflect, I see I'm clearly not as straight up and comfortable with people as I believed. Of course this was disrespectful and of course I should have said something about it, fvck suppressing my feelings to please others. I've always been the nice passive guy so it's hard for me to break out of it but my goal now is to be more in touch and expressive of my emotions.

While smiling and grabbing my stuff and facing away from her so she cant reach.
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
