"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.

I'm wondering what happens if you don't put those goggle-things they have at the salon? I just find them annoying and they don't fit right on my eyes so I end up with white areas. Would it be all right to not put them on once in a while, just so my eyes don't stay white?
 

"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.

Well if you want to get across the curb with the aide of a dog and like carrying around tin cups with pencils in them, sure, toss them to the side.

Eyelids are too thin to absorb UV rays so your eyes will take in the remainder.

The 2nd part would've been enough. :p

Yeah I've been going into the ****er without the eye things for about three weeks now, I must say they are very important, cuz they make them for a reason, but like out of 3 times, go in once with your eye lids closed so your eye lids can catch up tan-wise to the rest of your body

well, you DID ask :) anyway its a bit of an exaggeration but they are necessary

Protective goggles should always be worn when indoor tanning. Eyelid skin is too thin to protect the eyes from UVA rays. Severe burning of the lids and internal eye damage may result when goggles are not used.

"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.

You WILL get cataracts if you don't wear some sort of protection.


Wear them if only for 75% of the time.

I went up to the hot broad that works at my tanning place and said "Do you want to come out to a party in a week or so?" She said "Sure". So I said "I don't know the exact address of the place, but why don't I give you a call and tell you where it is when I find out..."

So, then she gave me her number.

Then, I called her up a week later and asked her out for a drink(instead of the party thing). She said "Sure". So, I told her that I would call her back later on that night after she got off work, to set up plans for something that night.

...Then, when I called her, she "mysteriously" wasn't home... :confused:

This concludes the story of me getting stood up. :)
