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.
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.
Ya, this semester will keep my schedule busy, so I'm not worried about moping around all day lol. The only thing I'm worried about is that I make most of my money on the weekends and I won't be able to take off work sometimes when she's begging me too. I also want to save money too and she wants to do valentines day in another city with a hotel :/. Thanks for not saying she will cheat on you bull because a cheater will cheat regardless of whether the relationship is ldr or her living in your closet lol. If cheating is your main worry than you are probably dating the wrong type of girl or you are not ready for a relationship.Fireballs said:
