"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.

Ok something happened to me today, and I want to know if I misread the situation or if it's something a straight guy would do.

ok I'm sitting down at a computer in my college computer lab, writing some stuff down. this guy walks up from somewhere and sits at the computer next to me doing his own thing for awhile. then he goes

guy: hey bro can i borrow your pen (i look at him and the way he's looking and asking gives me a wierd vibe), but i give him the pen. he uses it for awhile and gives it back saying thanks.

then he goes

what year are you in?
me: 2nd without looking at him, and staring at the screen
guy: what are you taking
me: bio and psych, again without looking and my face probably looked a little negative
guy: (after i dont respond for a couple secs) ok thanks again
me: yea no problem (and he leaves)

now im just wondering am I right in my judgement that this guy was gay or is this something you would see a straight guy doing @ college. to me this seems like the kind thing a straight guy would say to a girl when trying to pick her up.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Maybe, maybe not. Maybe he just wanted to meet people. A lot of people in college don't have friends so they are just trying to make friends.

I agree with this post, and therefor I am quoting it.

Just because some dude tried to strike up a conversation with you doesn't mean he's trying to hit on you. I'm not sure if you're homophobic or simply have too large of an ego, but from the threatened tone I'm guessing the first. Don't worry mate, when a gay guy sees a straight guy the last thing he's probably thinking is how to get in his pants. IMO they're probably wondering how the hell we go around with our skin and hair looking like that :p

Chill. He seems like a perfectly normal and polite guy to me, who's just trying to make some friends! I started several conversations today on campus with students waiting for their classes.. Half of them were dudes... Nothing wrong with meeting new people! Don't assume that just cuz a dude wants to start a conversation with you, that he's gay! He is probably in search of friends! I'm trying to build a social circle at school...
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

Padron Reserve maduro in hand while finishing my b
If he was tapping morse code on the floor while mouthing he wants you to "bite the pillow" that would indicate he was looking for something more than your pen.

You read too much into it (but keep a condom in your wallet just in case you do fall and slip on one).
