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.
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.
It works because it got people talking about it.CaptainJ said:What a crap advert. Do Americans really find this funny? Bad acting, nothing new, poorly editted and not even funny.
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.
Yes. I do not own a television.Big Poppa said:Another reason not to watch TV.

Yeah who gives a **** about something that affects you directly and the quality of life around you. Who gives a **** when there is a campaign to show men are emasculated on tv and children are watching and they grow up seeing men as irresponsible pu***s. Who gives a **** when a decent looking black guy is made to look like a bafoon in a community that idolizes thugs. Who gives a **** really??
When you get a clue to the overall picture and how this affects everyone then come back.
