"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.

Looks like for most of us in the northeast, we'll have to stay in for V-day.

Some places r suppsoed to get like 18 inches, but in nyc we're supposed to get a few inches, then ice and rain, and back to snow tom night. I made reservations, but I shouldnt risk my life and risk hers to go out tom night right? Is 3-6 inches valentines cancelling material?

I made the reservations by my house cuz her school is near me, but her class will prob be cancelled so she wont even be in my area. She lives 35 mins away from me so i dont wanna drive to her and die/lose my shoveled parking spot lol. Should i just reschedule for the weekend? This stupid holiday, its annoying.
 

"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.

People who LIKE extremely cold weather are PSYCHOTIC. How I wished I lived in cali.
 

"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.

Snow, ice, ect. is no reason to cancel plans unless power is out and you are in a 5 foot blizzard.

Last year here in Maryland, me and my girl had plans for the 12th, since she had class and I had work the 14th. The night before and day of, it snowed 3 feet here. What you gonna do?

Grab a shovel and some salt and get your driveway done.

You have reservations. Are you a good driver? You able to handle your car? If so, go for it...I mean, if no one else leaves their house, you have the place to yourself. Imagine how romantic that'll be.

I dunno now theyre talkin bout an ice storm, thats dangerous as hell. Our plans were for her to drive to my house after her class and go to the restaurant by me that i made reservations for. I assume her class is gonan be cancelled, so i dont want her to die coming to me from 35 mins away, and i dont think anybody should be out driving on icy roads. A little snow is one thing, ice is crazy. I aint driving out to long island in that weather.

In that case, nevermind. I figured you two lived fairly close.
