"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Hey guys! I was wondering if any of you are in the advertising business? I need to do an interview with someone in advertising for an english report, but none of the companies I have contacted wanted to including my University's marketing department, which seemed odd. Anyways I have six simple questioins just to say I interviewed someone. This is due wednesday and I have been working on it since it was assigned last thursday. Thanks.
 

"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.

No one can help?

Well if you can here are the questions:

Name?

Company?

What is the highest level of education you have complete?

What are your daily responsibilities?

What are your "off-the-clock" responsibilities?

Position title?

How man years of experience in your field did you go through to get to where you're at now?

I haven't even started my my major yet, I'm still a freshman and all I really need is a name to put down on paper saying I interviewed them. I'd would be greatful if you helped me.
 

"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.
