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.
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.
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
Proabably not. He most likely did do what has been stated. Otherwise he would be standing up for himself and defending more than he currently is. He abused his power.just a bunch of upset women they got pumped and dumped by morgan freeman. That's the downside to being famous (Not that I would know but I'm assuming), every chick you bang sees $$$$$$ signs floating on your ceiling.
If Cosby is any indication, some of them did some pretty bad sh1t.Proabably not. He most likely did do what has been stated. Otherwise he would be standing up for himself and defending more than he currently is. He abused his power.
Of course. All men who have brought forth are guilty. And when they haven’t been, the accused make has stood up for himself greatly - TJ MillerIf Cosby is any indication, some of them did some pretty bad sh1t.
He’s done**** me dude, Morgan Freeman is the man. Like THE man. Hopefully nothing happens to him, the dude is a beast.

Studios don’t want anything to do with actors who are under scrutiny in the realm of deviant sexual behaviour. They have a legacy to worry about. Dropping an actor means nothing. If anything Netflix gains more fans by dropping Louis C.K., spacey, and the other bunch while solidifying it’s position as a reputable household name; which in-turn builds their brand void of being entangled within the web of drama.I love Morgan Freeman as much as anyone, but guys...banging girls with their complete consent is one thing, walking onto a movie set and just telling 10 women you like their tits and rubbing their asses whenever they're near you is another.
Hollywood seems to be filled with sexual deviancy to be honest (though of course what counts as that is open to debate). But everyone seems to f*ck everyone else, and sleazy people have been abusing their power for God knows how long.
I hope Morgan is not part of that, but defending a guy going around just grabbing chicks asses all over the place and peering up skirts in a work environment as "acceptable behaviour" is silly.
What DOES p*ss me off is how show runners immediately knee-jerk cancel shows and so on just because a star is now controversial. Kevin Spacey may well be a deviant creep, but House of Cards was f*cking awesome and he's a f*cking awesome actor. Instead of cancelling the whole show instantly before he's even been trialled or found guilty of anything, why not finish it one season early with him in the driving seat still, but under close surveillance and monitoring around other staff?

On the other hand, I find the way in which the accused is publically pilloried BEFORE trial absolutely disgusting in these cases. A female friend of mine was sexually assaulted, and the guy who did it was a total piece of s**t. HOWEVER...I don't think he, or any other accused person in a sex crimes trial, should be named before proven guilty. After yes, before no.
If the victim gets the right to anonymity, the accused should also get that until convicted. It's ridiculous that a woman I've never met before, in a country the other side of the world could accuse me of rape and immediately the next day the papers will say: "MORETHANSMOOTH SUSPECTED OF RAPE!"
